Proverbs 14:9

Conflict and reconciliationSin

7 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.

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

10 The heart knows its own bitterness, and no stranger shares in its joy.

11 The house of the wicked will be destroyed, but the tent of the upright will flourish.
