Proverbs 14:7-9

New Catholic Bible

⁷ Do not remain in the presence of a fool,
    for you will not gain any wisdom there.
⁸ The prudent possess the wisdom to follow the right way,
    but the folly of fools misleads them.
⁹ Fools see no need to atone for guilt,
    but the upright do so and enjoy God’s favor.
