Proverbs 14:8
Compare all
6 A scoffer seeks wisdom and does not find it,
But aknowledge is easy to him who understands. 
7 Go from the presence of a foolish man,
When you do not perceive in him the lips of aknowledge. 
8 The wisdom of the prudent is to understand his way,
But the folly of fools is deceit.
9 aFools mock at1 sin,
But among the upright there is favor. 
10 The heart knows its own bitterness,
And a stranger does not share its joy.
11 aThe house of the wicked will be overthrown,
But the tent of the upright will flourish.

Proverbs 14:8

His way - Consists not in vain speculations, but in a diligent study of his duty, and of the way to eternal happiness. The folly - The wit of ungodly men, which is really their folly, is employed only in finding out ways of deceiving.
