6 ¹A scoffer seeks wisdom ²in vain, but ³knowledge is easy for a man of understanding.

7 Leave the presence of a fool, for there you do not meet words of knowledge.

8 The wisdom of the prudent is to discern his way, but the folly of fools is deceiving.

9 ⁴Fools mock at the guilt offering, but the upright enjoy acceptance.^a

10 The heart knows its own ⁵bitterness, and no stranger shares its joy.

11 ⁶The house of the wicked will be destroyed, but the tent of the upright will flourish.

12 ⁷There is a way that seems right to a man, but ⁸its end is the way to death.^b

13 Even in laughter the heart may ache, and ⁹the end of joy may be ¹⁰grief.

14 The backslider in heart will be ¹¹filled with the fruit of his ways, and ¹²a good man will be filled with the fruit of his ways.

15 ¹³The simple believes everything, but the prudent gives thought to his steps.

16 ¹⁴One who is wise is cautious^c and ¹⁵turns away from evil, but a fool is reckless and careless.

17 A man of ¹⁶quick temper acts foolishly, and a man of evil devices is hated.

18 The simple inherit folly, but the prudent are crowned with knowledge.

19 ¹⁷The evil bow down before the good, the wicked at the gates of the righteous.

20 ¹⁸The poor is disliked even by his neighbor, ¹⁹but the rich has many friends.

21 Whoever ²⁰despises his neighbor is a sinner, but ²¹blessed is he who is generous to the poor.

22 Do they not go astray who ²²devise evil? Those who devise good meet^d²³steadfast love and faithfulness.

23 In all toil there is profit, but mere talk ²⁴tends only to poverty.

24 The crown of the wise is their wealth, but the folly of fools brings folly.

25 A truthful witness saves lives, but one who ²⁵breathes out lies is deceitful.

26 In the fear of the LORD one has ²⁶strong confidence, and ²⁷his children will have ²⁸a refuge.
