3 Because of a stubborn fool’s words a whip is lifted against him,but wise people are protected by their speech.
4 Where there are no cattle, the feeding trough is empty,but the strength of an ox produces plentiful harvests.
5 A trustworthy witness does not lie,but a dishonest witness breathes lies.
6 A mocker searches for wisdom without finding it,but knowledge comes easily to a person who has understanding.
7 Stay away from a fool,because you will not receive knowledge from his lips.
8 The wisdom of a sensible person guides his way of life,but the stupidity of fools misleads them.
9 Stubborn fools make fun of guilt,but there is forgiveness among decent people.
