Mishlĕ (Proverbs) 14:5-14

A trustworthy witness does not lie, But a false witness breathes out lies. A scoffer shall seek wisdom but find none, But knowledge is swift to him who has understanding. Leave the presence of a foolish man, For you shall not perceive the lips of knowledge. The wisdom of the clever is to understand His way, But the folly of fools is deceit. Fools scoff at guilt, But among the straight there is delight. The heart knows its own bitterness, And no stranger shares its joy. The house of the wrong is destroyed, But the tent of the straight flourishes. There is a way which seems right to a man, But its end is the way of death. Even in laughter the heart is in pain, And the end of that joy is heaviness. The backslider in heart is satisfied with his own ways, But a good man is satisfied from his.
