Proverbs 15:21

Folly is joy to him who lacks sense,
But a man of understanding walks straight.

Doing wickedness is like sport to a fool,
And so is wisdom to a man of understanding.

Therefore be careful how you walk, not as unwise men but as wise,

“And to man He said, ‘Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom;
And to depart from evil is understanding.’”

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom;
A good understanding have all those who do His commandments;
His praise endures forever.

He who despises his neighbor lacks sense,
But a man of understanding keeps silent.

Fools mock at sin,
But among the upright there is good will.

A wise man is cautious and turns away from evil,
But a fool is arrogant and careless.

Like a madman who throws
Firebrands, arrows and death,

Who among you is wise and understanding? Let him show by his good behavior his deeds in the gentleness of wisdom.
