Proverbs 14:7-9

Lexham English Bible

⁷ Leave the presence of a foolish man,^[a]
    for you will not come to know words of knowledge.^[b]
8 The wisdom of the clever is understanding his ways,
    but the folly of fools is deceit.
⁹ Fools mock^[c] the guilt offering,
    but among the upright, it is favorable.
