Proverbs 14 (KJV) Every wise woman buildeth her house: but the foolish
plucketh it down with her hands. {2} He that walketh in his uprightness
feareth the LORD: but he that is perverse in his ways despiseth him. {3} In
the mouth of the foolish is a rod of 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 will utter lies. {6} A scorner seeketh wisdom, and findeth it not: but
knowledge is easy unto him that understandeth. {7} Go from the presence of a
foolish man, when thou perceivest not 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} Fools make a mock at sin: but among the righteous there is favour.
{10} The heart knoweth his own bitterness; and a stranger doth not intermeddle
with his joy. {11} The house of the wicked shall be overthrown: but the
tabernacle 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 that 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 rageth, and is confident. {17} He that is soon angry
dealeth 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
before the good; and the wicked at the gates of the righteous. {20} The poor
is hated even of his own neighbour: but the rich hath many friends. {21} He
that despiseth his neighbour sinneth: but he that hath mercy 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 labour there is profit: but the talk
of the lips tendeth only to penury. {24} The crown of the wise is their
riches: but the foolishness of fools is folly. {25} A true witness delivereth
souls: but a deceitful witness speaketh lies. {26} In the fear of the LORD is
strong confidence: and his children shall have a place of refuge. {27} The
fear of the LORD is a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death.
{28} In the multitude of people is the king's honour: but in the want of
people is the destruction of the prince. {29} He that is slow to wrath is of
great understanding: but he that is hasty of spirit exalteth folly. {30} A
sound heart is the life of the flesh: but envy the rottenness of the bones.
{31} He that oppresseth the poor reproacheth his Maker: but he that honoureth
him hath mercy on the poor. {32} The wicked is driven away in his wickedness:
but the righteous hath hope in his death. {33} Wisdom resteth in the heart of
him that hath understanding: but that which is in the midst of fools is made
known. {34} Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any
people. {35} The king's favour is toward a wise servant: but his wrath is
against him that causeth shame.
