New International Version (NIV)

5let the wise listen and add to their learning,

and let the discerning get guidance—

5A wise person will hear and increase in learning,

And a person of understanding will acquire wise counsel,

5The wise will hear and increase their learning,

And the person of understanding will acquire wise counsel and the skill [to steer his course wisely and lead others to the truth], [Prov 9:9]

5let the wise listen and gain instruction,

and the discerning acquire wise counsel

5That the wise man may hear, and increase in learning;

And that the man of understanding may attain unto sound counsels:

5A wise man shall heare and increase in learning, and a man of vnderstanding shall attayne vnto wise counsels,

5that the wise man may hear, and increase in learning;

that the man of understanding may attain to sound counsel;

5Let wise people listen and add to what they have learned.

Let those who understand what is right get guidance.

5Wise people should also listen carefully, so that they learn something new. And people with clever minds can learn to live in a good way.

5(The wise hear and increase learning, || And the intelligent obtain counsels.)
