6A scorner 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.
8The wisdom of the prudent is to understand his way: but the folly of fools is deceit.
9The foolish make a mock at guilt: but among the upright there is good will.
10The heart knoweth its own bitterness; and a stranger doth not intermeddle with its joy.
11The house of the wicked shall be overthrown: but the tent of the upright shall flourish.
12There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.
13Even in laughter the heart is sorrowful; and the end of mirth is heaviness.
