It is as sport to a fool to do mischief: but a man of understanding hath wisdom.

Fools make a mock at sin: but among the righteous there is favour.

As a mad man who casteth firebrands, arrows, and death,

So is the man that deceiveth his neighbour, and saith, Am not I in sport?

He that is void of wisdom despiseth his neighbour: but a man of understanding holdeth his peace.

A wise man feareth, and departeth from evil: but the fool rageth, and is confident.

And unto 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 they that do his commandments: his praise endureth for ever.

See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise,

Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom.
