Proverbs 14:6-8

Expanded Bible

⁶ ·Those who make fun of wisdom look for it [Mockers seek wisdom] and do not find it,
but knowledge comes ·easily [or quickly] to those with understanding.

⁷ Stay away from fools,
because they ·can’t teach you anything [^Ldon’t have knowledgeable lips].

⁸ The wisdom of a ·wise [prudent] person will understand ·what to do [^Lhis path],
but the folly of a foolish person is ·dishonest [deceptive].
