To do evil is like sport to a fool, But a man of understanding has wisdom.
Folly is joy to him who is destitute of discernment, But a man of understanding walks uprightly.
Fools mock at sin, But among the upright there is favor.
Who rejoice in doing evil, And delight in the perversity of the wicked;
Rejoice, O young man, in your youth, And let your heart cheer you in the days of your youth; Walk in the ways of your heart, And in the sight of your eyes; But know that for all these God will bring you into judgment.
The wise in heart will be called prudent, And sweetness of the lips increases learning.
