Proverbs 14:6-8
New American Bible (Revised Edition)

6 The scoffer seeks wisdom in vain,
    but knowledge is easy for the intelligent.
7 Go from the face of the fool;
    you get no knowledge from such lips.
8 The wisdom of the shrewd enlightens their way,
    but the folly of fools is deceit.[a]
