5 An honest witness does not deceive,but a dishonest witness utters lies.
6 A mocker seeks wisdom and doesn’t find it,but knowledge comes easily to the perceptive.
7 Stay away from a foolish man;you will gain no knowledge from his speech.
8 The sensible man’s wisdom is to consider his way,but the stupidity of fools deceives them.
9 Fools mock at making restitution, but there is goodwill among the upright.
10 The heart knows its own bitterness,and no outsider shares in its joy.
11 The house of the wicked will be destroyed,but the tent of the upright will stand.
