Proverbs 14:9

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

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

How long, ye simple, will ye love simplicity? and mockers delight to mock for them, and the foolish hate knowledge?

As laughter to the foolish one, to do mischief: and wisdom is to the man of understanding.

As a madman casting fiery darts, arrows and death,

So the way of a woman committing adultery; eating and wiping her mouth, and saying, I transgressed not

How much more abominable and corrupt is man drinking iniquity as water!

What man as Job he will drink scoffing as water?

For they said to you that in the last time shall be deceivers, going according to the eager desires of their impieties.

And find grace and good understanding in the eyes of God and man.

For he finding me, the finding of life, and he shall bnng forth acceptance from Jehovah.

The good shall obtain acceptance from Jehovah: and the man of mischief he will condemn.

Good understanding shall give grace: and the way of the transgressing is perpetuity.

For the kingdom of God is not food and drink; but justice, and peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.

As laughter to the foolish one, to do mischief: and wisdom is to the man of understanding.
