Fools mock at sin, But among the upright [there is] favor.

Folly [is] joy [to him who is] destitute of discernment, But a man of understanding walks uprightly.

Like a madman who throws firebrands, arrows, and death,

[Is] the man [who] deceives his neighbor, And says, "I was only joking!"

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