3In the fool's mouth is a rod of 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 scorner seeketh wisdom, and there is none for him; but knowledge is easy unto the intelligent.
7Go from the presence of a foolish man, in whom thou perceivest not the lips of knowledge.
