Proverbs 14:5-7

New Catholic Bible

⁵ A truthful witness does not lie,
    but a false witness lies incessantly.^[a]
6 In vain does a scoffer^[b] seek wisdom,
    but knowledge comes easily to the man of discernment.
⁷ Do not remain in the presence of a fool,
    for you will not gain any wisdom there.
