Proverbs 14:5-7

Holman Christian Standard Bible

⁵ An honest witness does not deceive,
but a dishonest witness utters lies.^(A)

⁶ A mocker seeks wisdom and doesn’t find it,
but knowledge comes easily to the perceptive.

⁷ Stay away from a foolish man;
you will gain no knowledge from his speech.^(B)
