Proverbs 24:7-9

New King James Version

⁷^(A)Wisdom is too lofty for a fool;
He does not open his mouth in the gate.

⁸He who ^(B)plots to do evil
Will be called a ^[a]schemer.
⁹The devising of foolishness is sin,
And the scoffer is an abomination to men.

Proverbs 24:7-9

New International Version

⁷Wisdom is too high for fools;
in the assembly at the gate they must not open their mouths.

⁸Whoever plots evil
will be known as a schemer.
⁹The schemes of folly are sin,
and people detest a mocker.

⁷Wisdom is too high for a fool: he openeth not his mouth in the gate.

⁸He that deviseth to do evil shall be called a mischievous person.

⁹The thought of foolishness is sin: and the scorner is an abomination to men.
