In context
3In the mouth of the senseless is a rod of pride, but the lips of the wise protect them. 4Where there are no oxen the manger is clean, but a rich harvest comes by the strength of an ox. 5A faithful witness does not lie, but a false witness breathes out lies. 6The scoffer looks for wisdom and finds none, but knowledge comes easily to the discerning. 7Keep away from a fool; you will find no lips of knowledge there.
