Cross Reference
- Proverbs 26:18 - People who shrug off deliberate deceptions, saying, “I didn’t mean it, I was only joking,” Are worse than careless campers who walk away from smoldering campfires.
- James 3:13 - Do you want to be counted wise, to build a reputation for wisdom? Here’s what you do: Live well, live wisely, live humbly. It’s the way you live, not the way you talk, that counts. Mean-spirited ambition isn’t wisdom. Boasting that you are wise isn’t wisdom. Twisting the truth to make yourselves sound wise isn’t wisdom. It’s the furthest thing from wisdom—it’s animal cunning, devilish plotting. Whenever you’re trying to look better than others or get the better of others, things fall apart and everyone ends up at the others’ throats.
- Proverbs 14:16 - The wise watch their steps and avoid evil; fools are headstrong and reckless.
- Proverbs 11:12 - Mean-spirited slander is heartless; quiet discretion accompanies good sense.
- Proverbs 14:9 - The stupid ridicule right and wrong, but a moral life is a favored life.
