Proverbs 14:5-12
New King James Version
6 A scoffer seeks wisdom and does not find it,
But (C)knowledge is easy to him who understands.
7 Go from the presence of a foolish man,
When you do not perceive in him the lips of (D)knowledge.
8 The wisdom of the prudent is to understand his way,
But the folly of fools is deceit.
10 The heart knows its own bitterness,
And a stranger does not share its joy.
11 (F)The house of the wicked will be overthrown,
But the tent of the upright will flourish.
