5 A truthful witness will not lie,but a false witness pours out lies.
6 A scoffer seeks wisdom, and doesn’t find it,but knowledge comes easily to a discerning person.
7 Stay away from a foolish man,for you won’t find knowledge on his lips.
8 The wisdom of the prudent is to think about his way,but the folly of fools is deceit.
9 Fools mock at making atonement for sins,but amongst the upright there is good will.
10 The heart knows its own bitterness and joy;he will not share these with a stranger.
11 The house of the wicked will be overthrown,but the tent of the upright will flourish.
