Proverbs 14:8

Proverbs Of Solomon

⁷
Leave the presence of a [shortsighted] fool,
For you will not find knowledge or hear godly wisdom from his lips.
⁸ 
The wisdom of the sensible is to understand his way,
But the foolishness of [shortsighted] fools is deceit.
⁹
Fools mock sin [but sin mocks the fools],
But among the upright there is good will and the favor and blessing of God.
