7Wisdom is too high for a fool;
in the gate he does not open his mouth.
8He who plans to do evil
will be called a mischief-maker.
9The devising of folly is sin,
and the scoffer is an abomination to men.

Wisdom is too lofty for fools.
Among leaders at the city gate, they have nothing to say.
A person who plans evil
will get a reputation as a troublemaker.
The schemes of a fool are sinful;
Everyone detests a mocker.
