Proverbs 14:5-7

The Message

⁵ A true witness never lies;
    a false witness makes a business of it.

⁶ Cynics look high and low for wisdom—and never find it;
    the open-minded find it right on their doorstep!

⁷ Escape quickly from the company of fools;
    they’re a waste of your time, a waste of your words.
