Proverbs 14:6-8

Good News Translation

⁶Conceited people can never become wise, but intelligent people learn easily.

⁷Stay away from foolish people; they have nothing to teach you.

⁸Why is a clever person wise? Because he knows what to do. Why is a stupid person foolish? Because he only thinks he knows.

but knowledge comes easily to the discerning.^(A)

for you will not find knowledge on their lips.

⁸The wisdom of the prudent is to give thought to their ways,^(B)
but the folly of fools is deception.^(C)
