Proverbs 7:7

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

⁷and I saw among the simple ones,
I observed among the youths,
a young man without sense,^(A)

Proverbs 7:7

New Living Translation

⁷I saw some naive young men,
and one in particular who lacked common sense.

²¹Folly is a joy to one who has no sense,
but a person of understanding walks straight ahead.^(A)

²¹Foolishness brings joy to those with no sense;
a sensible person stays on the right path.

¹⁸It is senseless to give a pledge,
to become surety for a neighbor.^(A)

¹⁸It’s poor judgment to guarantee another person’s debt
or put up security for a friend.
