Proverbs 14:3

In the mouth of the ignorant fool is a rod of lofty pride,

But the lips of the wise will keep them.

Proverbs 14:7 - 14:9

Leave the presence of a fool,

As you have not known lips of knowledge there.

The wisdom of the prudent is to understand his way,

But the folly of fools is deceit.

Ignorant fools scoff at guilt,

But among the upright there is favor.

The simple believes everything,

But the prudent one discerns his steps.

A wise man fears and turns away from evil,

But a fool gets angry and feels secure.

A quick‑tempered man acts in folly,

And a man of evil schemes is hated.
