Proverbs 14:7-18

⁷Go from the presence of a foolish man; For thou hast not perceived in him the lips of knowledge.

⁸The wisdom of the prudent is in giving heed to his way; But the folly of fools is deceit.

⁹Fools make a mock at sin; But with the upright is favor.

¹⁰The heart knoweth its own bitterness. And a stranger cannot intermeddle with its joy.

¹¹The house of the wicked shall be destroyed; But the tent of the upright shall flourish.

¹²There is a way which seemeth right to a man, But its end is the way to death.

¹³Even in laughter the heart is sorrowful, And the end of joy is grief.

¹⁴The perverse in heart shall be filled with his own ways; And from himself shall the good man be satisfied.

¹⁵The simple man believeth every word; But the prudent looketh well to his steps.

¹⁶The wise man feareth, and departeth from evil; But the fool is haughty and confident.

¹⁷He who is hasty in his anger will commit folly; And the man of wicked devices will be hated.

¹⁸The simple inherit folly; But the prudent are crowned with knowledge.
