Proverbs 14:7-9

Holman Christian Standard Bible

⁷ Stay away from a foolish man;
you will gain no knowledge from his speech.^(A)

⁸ The sensible man’s wisdom is to consider his way,
but the stupidity of fools deceives them.

⁹ Fools mock at making restitution,^[a]
but there is goodwill among the upright.
