Proverbs 14:5-7

Amplified Bible

⁵ 
A faithful and trustworthy witness will not lie,
But a false witness speaks lies.
⁶ 
A scoffer seeks wisdom and finds none [for his ears are closed to wisdom],
But knowledge is easy for one who understands [because he is willing to learn].
⁷ 
Leave the presence of a [shortsighted] fool,
For you will not find knowledge or hear godly wisdom from his lips.
