Proverbs 7:7

Common English Bible

⁷I looked among the naive young men
and noticed among the youth, one who had no sense.

²¹Folly brings joy to one who has no sense,^(A)
but whoever has understanding keeps a straight course.

²¹Folly is joy to those who lack sense,
but those with understanding walk straight ahead.

¹⁸One who has no sense shakes hands in pledge
and puts up security for a neighbor.^(A)

¹⁸One with no sense shakes hands on a deal,
securing a loan for a friend.
