When thou perceivest not - the lips of knowledge - Instead of daath , knowledge, several MSS. have sheker , a lie. How this reading came I cannot conjecture. The meaning of the adage is plain: Never associate with a vain, empty fellow, when thou perceivest he can neither convey nor receive instruction.
