7. Go from before a foolish man, Or thou hast not known the lips of knowledge.
8. The wisdom of the prudent [is] to understand his way, And the folly of fools [is] deceit.
9. Fools mock at a guilt-offering, And among the upright--a pleasing thing.
10. The heart knoweth its own bitterness, And with its joy a stranger doth not intermeddle.
11. The house of the wicked is destroyed, And the tent of the upright flourisheth.
