Proverbs14:8
8 The wisdom of the prudent is to understand his way , but the folly of fools is deceit .
It consists not in vain Speculations, nor in a curious prying into other mens matters, nor in cunning arts of deceiving others, but in a diligent study of his own duty, and of the way to true and eternal happiness.
The wit of ungodly men, which, though they account their Wisdom, is really their folly, is employed onely in finding out ways of over-reaching and deceiving others, and themselves too.
