²³ It is a fool's pleasure to do wickedness, But wisdom is a man of understanding's pleasure.

²¹ Folly is joy to one who is void of wisdom, But a man of understanding keeps his way straight.

¹⁴ Who rejoice to do evil, And delight in the perverseness of evil;

⁹ Fools mock at making atonement for sins, But among the upright there is good will.

¹⁸ Like a madman who shoots firebrands, arrows, and death,

¹⁹ Is the man who deceives his neighbor and says, "Am I not joking?"

⁹ Rejoice, young man, in your youth, And let your heart cheer you in the days of your youth, And walk in the ways of your heart, And in the sight of your eyes; But know that for all these things God will bring you into judgment.
