Proverbs 15:21

Folly is joy to one who is void of wisdom, but a man of understanding keeps his way straight.

It is a fool's pleasure to do wickedness, but wisdom is a man of understanding's pleasure.

Therefore watch carefully how you walk, not as unwise, but as wise;

To man he said, 'Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom. To depart from evil is understanding.'"

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom. All those who do his work have a good understanding. His praise endures forever.

One who despises his neighbor is void of wisdom, but a man of understanding holds his peace.

Fools mock at making atonement for sins, but among the upright there is good will.

A wise man fears, and shuns evil, but the fool is hotheaded and reckless.

Like a madman who shoots firebrands, arrows, and death,

Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show by his good conduct that his deeds are done in gentleness of wisdom.
