7 I saw some naive young men, and one in particular who lacked common sense.
7 And I saw among the (A)simple,And discerned among the [a]sonsA young man (B)lacking a heart of wisdom,
21 Foolishness brings joy to those with no sense; a sensible person stays on the right path.
21 Folly is gladness to him who lacks a heart of wisdom,But a man of discernment (A)walks straight.
18 It’s poor judgment to guarantee another person’s debt or put up security for a friend.
18 A man lacking a heart of wisdom (A)strikes his [a]hands in pledgeAnd becomes guarantor in the presence of his neighbor.
