Proverbs 14:7-9

The Voice

⁷ Walk away from the company of fools,
    for you cannot find insight in their words.
⁸ It takes wisdom for the clever to understand the path they are on,
    but the fool is deceived by his own foolishness.
⁹ Fools make a mockery of guilt and repentance,
    but those who do what is right receive special standing.^[a]
