Proverbs 14:3-7

In the mouth of the foolish is a rod for his back, But the lips of the wise will protect them.

Where there are no oxen, the manger is clean; But much revenue comes by the strength of the ox.

A trustworthy witness will not lie, But a false witness declares lies.

A scoffer seeks wisdom and finds none, But knowledge is easy for one who has understanding.

Leave the presence of a fool, Or you will not discern words of knowledge.
