Proverbs 14

Every wise woman buildeth her house;

He that walketh in his uprightness feareth Jehovah;

In the mouth of the foolish is a rod for his pride;

Where no oxen are, the crib is clean;

A faithful witness will not lie;

A scoffer seeketh wisdom, and findeth it not;

Go into the presence of a foolish man,

The wisdom of the prudent is to understand his way;

A trespass-offering mocketh fools;

The heart knoweth its own bitterness;

The house of the wicked shall be overthrown;

There is a way which seemeth right unto a man;

Even in laughter the heart is sorrowful;

The backslider in heart shall be filled with his own ways;

The simple believeth every word;

A wise man feareth, and departeth from evil;

He that is soon angry will deal foolishly;

The simple inherit folly;

The evil bow down before the good;

The poor is hated even of his own neighbor;

He that despiseth his neighbor sinneth;

Do they not err that devise evil?

In all labor there is profit;

The crown of the wise is their riches;

A true witness delivereth souls;

In the fear of Jehovah is strong confidence;

The fear of Jehovah is a fountain of life,

In the multitude of people is the king’s glory;

He that is slow to anger is of great understanding;

A tranquil heart is the life of the flesh;

He that oppresseth the poor reproacheth his Maker;

The wicked is thrust down in his evil-doing;

Wisdom resteth in the heart of him that hath understanding;

Righteousness exalteth a nation;

The king’s favor is toward a servant that dealeth wisely;
