8 The wisdom of the prudent is to give thought to their ways,
but the folly of fools is deception.
New International Version (NIV)
PCDC Commentary
The Prudent plan their ways through wisdom.
Absurdity deceives Fools.
7 Stay away from a fool,
for you will not find knowledge on their lips.
PCDC Commentary
Avoid the fool
for inanity is his zenith.
6 The mocker seeks wisdom and finds none,
but knowledge comes easily to the discerning.
PCDC Commentary
The Discerning appropriates while the Mocker searches in vain.
Work Begets Abundance
Proverbs 14:4
Where there are no oxen,
the manger is empty,
but from the strength of an ox
come abundant harvests.
PCdc Commentary
Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
Steady work brings bountiful harvests.
