Proverbs
Chapters 14:7-13
Amplified Bible
7Go from the presence of a foolish and self-confident man, for you will not find knowledge on his lips.
8The Wisdom [godly Wisdom, which is comprehensive insight into the ways and purposes of God] of the prudent is to understand his way, but the folly of [self-confident] fools is to deceive.
9Fools make a mock of sin and sin mocks the fools [who are its victims; a sin offering made by them only mocks them, bringing them disappointment and disfavor], but among the upright there is the favor of God. [Prov. 10:23.]
10The heart knows its own bitterness, and no stranger shares its joy.
11The house of the wicked shall be overthrown, but the tent of the upright shall flourish.
12There is a way which seems right to a man and appears straight before him, but at the end of it is the way of death.
13Even in laughter the heart is sorrowful, and the end of mirth is heaviness and grief.
