New King James Version

Proverbs 14:5-10 New King James Version (NKJV)

5. A faithful witness does not lie,But a false witness will utter lies.

6. A scoffer seeks wisdom and does not find it,But knowledge is easy to him who understands.

7. Go from the presence of a foolish man,When you do not perceive in him the lips of knowledge.

8. The wisdom of the prudent is to understand his way,But the folly of fools is deceit.

9. Fools mock at sin,But among the upright there is favor.

10. The heart knows its own bitterness,And a stranger does not share its joy.
