Proverbs 14:7-9

New International Reader's Version

⁷ Stay away from a foolish person.
    You won’t find knowledge in what they say.

⁸ People are wise and understanding when they think about the way they live.
    But people are foolish when their foolish ways trick them.

⁹ Foolish people laugh at making things right when they sin.
    But honest people try to do the right thing.
