An honest witness will not lie, but a false witness lies with every breath. A scoffer seeks wisdom in vain, but knowledge comes easily to someone with discernment. Keep clear of a fool, for you won’t hear a sensible word from him. The wisdom of the cautious makes him know where he is going, but the folly of fools misleads them. Guilt offerings make a mockery of fools; but among the upright there is good will. The heart knows its own bitterness, and no stranger can share its joy. The house of the wicked will be destroyed, but the tent of the upright will flourish. There can be a way which seems right to a person, but at its end are the ways of death. Even in laughter the heart can be sad, and joy may end in sorrow. A backslider is filled up with his own ways, but a good person gets satisfaction from himself.
