Proverbs 14:5-14

A faithful witness lieth not, And a false witness breatheth out lies. A scorner hath sought wisdom, and it is not, And knowledge to the intelligent [is] easy. Go from before a foolish man, Or thou hast not known the lips of knowledge. The wisdom of the prudent [is] to understand his way, And the folly of fools [is] deceit. Fools mock at a guilt-offering, And among the upright — a pleasing thing. The heart knoweth its own bitterness, And with its joy a stranger doth not intermeddle. The house of the wicked is destroyed, And the tent of the upright flourisheth. There is a way — right before a man, And its latter end [are] ways of death. Even in laughter is the heart pained, And the latter end of joy [is] affliction. From his ways is the backslider in heart filled, And a good man — from his fruits.
