Proverbs 24:7-9

Good News Translation

-22-

⁷ Wise sayings are too deep for stupid people to understand. They have nothing to say when important matters are being discussed.

-23-

⁸ If you are always planning evil, you will earn a reputation as a troublemaker. ⁹ Any scheme a fool thinks up is sinful. People hate a person who has nothing but scorn for others.
