Mishle 14:6-8

Orthodox Jewish Bible

⁶A scoffer seeketh chochmah, and findeth it not, but da’as cometh easily unto him that is discerning.

⁷Go from the presence of an ish kesil, when thou perceivest not in him the sfatayim (lips) of da’as (knowledge).

⁸The chochmah of the prudent is to understand his derech, but the folly of kesilim is mirmah (deceit).

but the folly of fools is deception.^(C)
