On Preferring Scarcity To Surplus – Proverbs 13:23
23 An unplowed field produces food for the poor,
but injustice sweeps it away.

23 The prudent keep their knowledge to themselves,
but a fool’s heart blurts out folly.

do not throw your pearls to pigs.
If you do, they may trample them under their feet,
and turn and tear you to pieces.

23 A fool finds pleasure in wicked schemes,
but a person of understanding delights in wisdom.

A person of understanding finds pleasure in wicked schemes.
LOL. It is to laugh.
