3In the mouth of the foolish is a rod for his pride; But the lips of the wise shall preserve them.
4Where no oxen are, the crib is clean; But much increase is by the strength of the ox.
5A faithful witness will not lie; But a false witness uttereth lies.
6A scoffer seeketh wisdom, and findeth it not; But knowledge is easy unto him that hath understanding.
7Go into the presence of a foolish man, And thou shalt not perceive in him the lips of knowledge.
