The Proverbs

Chapter 14

1.

Every wise woman buildeth her house; But the foolish plucketh it down with her own hands.

2.

He that walketh in his uprightness feareth Jehovah; But he that is perverse in his ways despiseth him.

3.

In the mouth of the foolish is a rod for [his] pride; But the lips of the wise shall preserve them.

4.

Where no oxen are, the crib is clean; But much increase is by the strength of the ox.

5.

A faithful witness will not lie; But a false witness uttereth lies.

6.

A scoffer seeketh wisdom, and [findeth it] not; But knowledge is easy unto him that hath understanding.

7.

Go into the presence of a foolish man, And thou shalt not perceive [in him] the lips of knowledge.

8.

The wisdom of the prudent is to understand his way; But the folly of fools is deceit.

9.

A trespass-offering mocketh fools; But among the upright there is good will.

10.

The heart knoweth its own bitterness; And a stranger doth not intermeddle with its joy.

11.

The house of the wicked shall be overthrown; But the tent of the upright shall flourish.

12.

There is a way which seemeth right unto a man; But the end thereof are the ways of death.

13.

Even in laughter the heart is sorrowful; And the end of mirth is heaviness.

14.

The backslider in heart shall be filled with his own ways; And a good man [shall be satisfied] from himself.

15.

The simple believeth every word; But the prudent man looketh well to his going.

16.

A wise man feareth, and departeth from evil; But the fool beareth himself insolently, and is confident.

17.

He that is soon angry will deal foolishly; And a man of wicked devices is hated.

18.

The simple inherit folly; But the prudent are crowned with knowledge.

19.

The evil bow down before the good; And the wicked, at the gates of the righteous.

20.

The poor is hated even of his own neighbor; But the rich hath many friends.

21.

He that despiseth his neighbor sinneth; But he that hath pity on the poor, happy is he.

22.

Do they not err that devise evil? But mercy and truth [shall be to] them that devise good.

23.

In all labor there is profit; But the talk of the lips [tendeth] only to penury.

24.

The crown of the wise is their riches; [But] the folly of fools is [only] folly.

25.

A true witness delivereth souls; But he that uttereth lies [causeth] deceit.

26.

In the fear of Jehovah is strong confidence; And his children shall have a place of refuge.

27.

The fear of Jehovah is a fountain of life, That one may depart from the snares of death.

28.

In the multitude of people is the king's glory; But in the want of people is the destruction of the prince.

29.

He that is slow to anger is of great understanding; But he that is hasty of spirit exalteth folly.

30.

A tranquil heart is the life of the flesh; But envy is the rottenness of the bones.

31.

He that oppresseth the poor reproacheth his Maker; But he that hath mercy on the needy honoreth him.

32.

The wicked is thrust down in his evil-doing; But the righteous hath a refuge in his death.

33.

Wisdom resteth in the heart of him that hath understanding; But [that which is] in the inward part of fools is made known.

34.

Righteousness exalteth a nation; But sin is a reproach to any people.

35.

The king's favor is toward a servant that dealeth wisely; But his wrath will be [against] him that causeth shame.
