Proverbs 14:9

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

Fools make a mock at sin: but among the righteous there is favour.

How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? And scoffers delight them in scoffing, and fools hate knowledge?

It is as sport to a fool to do mischief, and [so is] wisdom to a man of understanding.

As a madman who casts firebrands, arrows, and death,

So is the way of an adulterous woman: She eats, and wipes her mouth, and says, I have done no iniquity.

How much less one who is abominable and corrupt, a man who drinks iniquity like water!

What man is like Job, who drinks up scorning like water,

that they told you that there will be scoffers during the last time, going according to their own desires of irreverences.

so thou shall find favor and good understanding in the sight of God and man.

For he who finds me finds life, and shall obtain favor of LORD.

A good man shall obtain favor of LORD, but he will condemn a man of wicked devices.

Good understanding gives favor, but the way of the transgressor is hard.

For the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in Holy Spirit.

It is as sport to a fool to do mischief, and [so is] wisdom to a man of understanding.
