Proverbs 14:7-9

Expanded Bible

⁷ Stay away from fools,
because they ·can’t teach you anything [^Ldon’t have knowledgeable lips].

⁸ The wisdom of a ·wise [prudent] person will understand ·what to do [^Lhis path],
but the folly of a foolish person is ·dishonest [deceptive].

⁹ Fools ·don’t care if they sin [^Lmock a penalty/guilt/reparation offering; Lev. 5:14—6:7],
but ·honest people work at being right [those with integrity/virtue are favored].
