Proverbs 14

Verses

1Every wise woman buildeth her house: but the foolish plucketh it down with her hands.3In the mouth of the foolish is a rod of pride: but the lips of the wise shall preserve them.4Where no oxen are, the crib is clean: but much increase is by the strength of the ox.5A faithful witness will not lie: but a false witness will utter lies.7Go from the presence of a foolish man, when thou perceivest not in him the lips of knowledge.8The wisdom of the prudent is to understand his way: but the folly of fools is deceit.9Fools make a mock at sin: but among the righteous there is favour.10The heart knoweth his own bitterness; and a stranger doth not intermeddle with his joy.12There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.13Even in laughter the heart is sorrowful; and the end of that mirth is heaviness.14The backslider in heart shall be filled with his own ways: and a good man shall be satisfied from himself.15The simple believeth every word: but the prudent man looketh well to his going.16A wise man feareth, and departeth from evil: but the fool rageth, and is confident.17He that is soon angry dealeth foolishly: and a man of wicked devices is hated.21He that despiseth his neighbour sinneth: but he that hath mercy on the poor , happy is he.23In all labour there is profit: but the talk of the lips tendeth only to penury.26In the fear of the LORD is strong confidence: and his children shall have a place of refuge.27The fear of the LORD is a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death.29He that is slow to wrath is of great understanding: but he that is hasty of spirit exalteth folly.30A sound heart is the life of the flesh: but envy the rottenness of the bones.31He that oppresseth the poor reproacheth his Maker: but he that honoureth him hath mercy on the poor.34Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people.
