In context
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. 8The wisdom of the shrewd is to understand his own way, but the folly of fools is deceit. 9The senseless scoff at guilt, but among the upright there is favor.
