Proverbs 15:21

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

Doing wrong is like a joke to a fool, but wisdom is pleasure to a man of understanding.

Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise,

And he said to man, 'Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom, and to turn away from evil is understanding.'"

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom; all those who practice it have a good understanding. His praise endures forever!

Whoever belittles his neighbor lacks sense, but a man of understanding remains silent.

Fools mock at the guilt offering, but the upright enjoy acceptance.

One who is wise is cautious and turns away from evil, but a fool is reckless and careless.

Like a madman who throws firebrands, arrows, and death

Who is wise and understanding among you? By his good conduct let him show his works in the meekness of wisdom.
