The one who commits adultery with a woman is lacking sense;
He who would destroy himself does it.

And I saw among the naive,
And discerned among the youths
A young man lacking sense,

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

He who tills his land will have plenty of bread,
But he who pursues worthless things lacks sense.

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

Why is there a price in the hand of a fool to buy wisdom,
When he has no sense?

A man lacking in sense pledges
And becomes guarantor in the presence of his neighbor.

I passed by the field of the sluggard
And by the vineyard of the man lacking sense,
