Proverbs 14:7

5 An honest witness does not deceive, but a dishonest witness pours forth lies.

6 A mocker seeks wisdom and finds none, but knowledge comes easily to the discerning.

Stay away from a foolish man; you will gain no knowledge from his speech.

8 The wisdom of the prudent is to discern his way, but the folly of fools deceives them.

9 Fools mock the making of amends, but goodwill is found among the upright.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
