He that walketh{H1980} in his uprightness{H3476} feareth{H3373} Jehovah;{H3068} But he that is perverse{H3868} in his ways{H1870} despiseth{H959} him.

In the mouth{H6310} of the foolish{H191} is a rod{H2415} for [his] pride;{H1346} But the lips{H8193} of the wise{H2450} shall preserve{H8104} them.

Go{H3212} into the presence{H5048} of a foolish{H3684} man,{H376} And thou shalt not perceive{H3045} [in him] the lips{H8193} of knowledge.{H1847}

The wisdom{H2451} of the prudent{H6175} is to understand{H995} his way;{H1870} But the folly{H200} of fools{H3684} is deceit.{H4820}
