Verse 8
"The wisdom of the prudent is to understand his way; But the folly of fools is deceit."
"Shrewd men are wise in grasping their affairs, but the folly of a fool leads him astray."[9]
The first clause here is the Hebrew counterpart of the Greek, "Know thy way," or "Know thyself." "The highest wisdom is for a man to know his own way. The fool, on the other hand, whose specialty is that of deceiving others, is (in the second clause) led astray, because he has deceived himself"![10]
