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.
11The house of the wicked is destroyed, And the tent of the upright flourisheth.
12There is a way — right before a man, And its latter end are ways of death.
