"In the tents of those hating authority there is error, but in the house of the upright man there is grace."
— Proverbs 14:9, Bible in Basic English
“Fools make a mock at sin: but among the righteous there is favour.”
The hater of authority, searching for wisdom, does not get it; but knowledge comes readily to the open-minded man.
Go away from the foolish man, for you will not see the lips of knowledge.
The wisdom of the man of good sense makes his way clear; but the unwise behaviour of the foolish is deceit.
In the tents of those hating authority there is error, but in the house of the upright man there is grace.
No one has knowledge of a man's grief but himself; and a strange person has no part in his joy.
The house of the sinner will be overturned, but the tent of the upright man will do well.
There is a way which seems straight before a man, but its end is the ways of death.
