Proverbs 15:21

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

Folly is joy to him that is destitute of wisdom: but a man of understanding walketh uprightly.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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