Book 20 : Proverbs - Chapter 014

014:001
Every wise woman buildeth her house: but the foolish plucketh it down with her hands.

014:002
He that walketh in his uprightness feareth the LORD: but he that is perverse in his ways despiseth him.

014:003
In the mouth of the foolish is a rod of pride: but the lips of the wise shall preserve them.

014:004
Where no oxen are, the crib is clean: but much increase is by the strength of the ox.

014:005
A faithful witness will not lie: but a false witness will utter lies.

014:006
A scorner seeketh wisdom, and findeth it not: but knowledge is easy unto him that understandeth.

014:007
Go from the presence of a foolish man, when thou perceivest not in him the lips of knowledge.

014:008
The wisdom of the prudent is to understand his way: but the folly of fools is deceit.

014:009

014:012
There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.

014:013
Even in laughter the heart is sorrowful; and the end of that mirth is heaviness.

014:014
The backslider in heart shall be filled with his own ways: and a good man shall be satisfied from himself.

014:015
The simple believeth every word: but the prudent man looketh well to his going.

014:016
A wise man feareth, and departeth from evil: but the fool rageth, and is confident.

014:017
He that is soon angry dealeth foolishly: and a man of wicked devices is hated.

014:018
The simple inherit folly: but the prudent are crowned with knowledge.
