Proverbs 14:3

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

7
Leave the presence of a fool,
As you have not known lips of knowledge there.
8
The wisdom of the prudent is to understand his way,
But the folly of fools is deceit.
9
Ignorant fools scoff at guilt,
But among the upright there is favor.

Proverbs 14:15 - 14:17

15
The simple believes everything,
But the prudent one discerns his steps.
16
A wise man fears and turns away from evil,
But a fool gets angry and feels secure.
17
A quick‑tempered man acts in folly,
And a man of evil schemes is hated.
