Proverbs 14:5-7

New International Reader's Version

⁵ An honest witness does not lie.
    But a dishonest witness pours out lies.

⁶ Those who make fun of others look for wisdom and don’t find it.
    But knowledge comes easily to those who understand what is right.

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