Proverbs 14:6-8

New American Standard Bible

⁶ A scoffer seeks wisdom and finds none,
But knowledge is easy for one who has understanding.
⁷ Leave the ^(A)presence of a fool,
Or you will not ^[a]discern ^[b]words of knowledge.
⁸ The wisdom of the sensible is to understand his way,
But ^(B)the foolishness of fools is deceit.
