Proverbs 15:21

Folly is a joy to him who lacks {sense}, and a person of understanding {will walk upright}.

[It is] like a sport for a fool to do wrong, wisdom for a person of understanding.

Therefore, consider carefully how you live, not as unwise but as wise,

And to the human beings he said, 'Look, the fear of the Lord [is] wisdom, and to depart from evil [is] understanding.'"

The fear of Yahweh [is the] beginning of wisdom; all who do them have a good understanding. His praise endures forever.

He who lacks {sense} belittles his neighbor, but a person of intelligence will remain silent.

Fools mock [the] guilt offering, but among the upright, it is favorable.

The wise is cautious and turns from evil, but the fool throws off restraint and is confident.

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

Who [is] wise and understanding among you? Let him show by his good behavior his works, with the humility of wisdom.
