Proverbs 14:5-7

Lexham English Bible

⁵A faithful witness does not lie,
    but he who breathes out falsehood is a witness of deceit.
⁶A scoffer seeks wisdom, but there is none,
    but knowledge comes easily to him who understands.^[a]
⁷Leave the presence of a foolish man,^[b]
    for you will not come to know words of knowledge.^[c]
