Proverbs 14:5-7
New Catholic Bible

5 A truthful witness does not lie,
    but a false witness lies incessantly.[a]
6 In vain does a scoffer[b] seek wisdom,
    but knowledge comes easily to the man of discernment.
7 Do not remain in the presence of a fool,
    for you will not gain any wisdom there.
