3In the mouth of a fool is a rod of pride, And the lips of the wise preserve them.
4Without oxen a stall is clean, And great is the increase by the power of the ox.
5A faithful witness lieth not, And a false witness breatheth out lies.
6A scorner hath sought wisdom, and it is not, And knowledge to the intelligent is easy.
7Go from before a foolish man, Or thou hast not known the lips of knowledge.
8The wisdom of the prudent is to understand his way, And the folly of fools is deceit.
9Fools mock at a guilt-offering, And among the upright — a pleasing thing.
10The heart knoweth its own bitterness, And with its joy a stranger doth not intermeddle.
