See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise,

{It is} as sport to a fool to do mischief: but a man of understanding hath wisdom.

A wise {man} feareth, and departeth from evil: but the fool rageth, and is confident.

Fools make a mock at sin: but among the righteous {there is} favour.

As a mad {man} who casteth firebrands, arrows, and death, {firebrands: Heb. flames, or, sparks}

Who {is} a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom.

And unto man he said, Behold, the fear of the Lord, that {is} wisdom; and to depart from evil {is} understanding.

The fear of the LORD {is} the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do {his commandments}: his praise endureth for ever. {a good...: or, good success} {his commandments: Heb. them}

He that is void of wisdom despiseth his neighbour: but a man of understanding holdeth his peace. {void...: Heb. destitute of heart}

{It is} as sport to a fool to do mischief: but a man of understanding hath wisdom.

So {is} the man {that} deceiveth his neighbour, and saith, Am not I in sport?

He that refuseth instruction despiseth his own soul: but he that heareth reproof getteth understanding. {instruction: or, correction} {heareth: or, obeyeth} {getteth...: Heb. possesseth an heart}
