Folly is joy to him that is destitute of wisdom: but a man of understanding walks uprightly.
And to man he said, Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding.
The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all those who do his commandments: his praise endures for ever.
It is as sport to a fool to do mischief: but a man of understanding has wisdom.
He that lacks wisdom despises his neighbor: but a man of understanding holds his peace.
A wise man fears, and departs from evil: but the fool rages, and is confident.
The wisdom of the prudent is to understand his way: but the folly of fools is deceit.
Fools mock at sin: but among the righteous there is favor.
Without counsel purposes are disappointed: but in the multitude of counselors they are established.
Let your eyes look ahead, and let your eyelids look straight before you.
Consider the path of your feet, and let all your ways be established.
See then that you walk carefully, not as fools, but as wise,
Who is a wise man and possessing knowledge among you? Let him show out of good conduct his works with the meekness of wisdom.
