Proverbs 14:6-11

⁶Those who make fun of being wise will never become wise, but those who understand what is right learn things easily.

⁷Stay away from foolish people, because they will not be able to teach you anything useful.

⁸Those who have good sense are wise, so they know what they should do and what they should not do; foolish people do not know what is right to do, but because they think that they do, they are deceiving themselves.

⁹Foolish people make fun of their committing sins; but God is pleased with those who do what is right.

¹⁰If you are very sad or if you are joyful, only you know what you are experiencing; no one else can know what you are feeling.

¹¹Houses built by wicked people will be destroyed, but houses built by good/righteous people will last for a long time.
