14:1 Every
wise
woman
buildeth
her
house;
But
the
foolish
plucketh
it
down
with
her
own
hands.
14:2 He
that
walketh
in
his
uprightness
feareth
Jehovah;
But
he
that
is
perverse
in
his
ways
despiseth
him.
14:3 In
the
mouth
of
the
foolish
is
a
rod
for
[his]
pride;
But
the
lips
of
the
wise
shall
preserve
them.
14:4 Where
no
oxen
are,
the
crib
is
clean;
But
much
increase
is
by
the
strength
of
the
ox.
14:5 A
faithful
witness
will
not
lie;
But
a
false
witness
uttereth
lies.
14:6 A
scoffer
seeketh
wisdom,
and
[findeth
it]
not;
But
knowledge
is
easy
unto
him
that
hath
understanding.
14:7 Go
into
the
presence
of
a
foolish
man,
And
thou
shalt
not
perceive
[in
him]
the
lips
of
knowledge.
14:8 The
wisdom
of
the
prudent
is
to
understand
his
way;
But
the
folly
of
fools
is
deceit.
14:9 A
trespass-offering
mocketh
fools;
But
among
the
upright
there
is
good
will.
14:10 The
heart
knoweth
its
own
bitterness;
And
a
stranger
doth
not
intermeddle
with
its
joy.
14:11 The
house
of
the
wicked
shall
be
overthrown;
But
the
tent
of
the
upright
shall
flourish.
14:12 There
is
a
way
which
seemeth
right
unto
a
man;
But
the
end
thereof
are
the
ways
of
death.
14:13 Even
in
laughter
the
heart
is
sorrowful;
And
the
end
of
mirth
is
heaviness.
14:14 The
backslider
in
heart
shall
be
filled
with
his
own
ways;
And
a
good
man
[shall
be
satisfied]
from
himself.
14:15 The
simple
believeth
every
word;
But
the
prudent
man
looketh
well
to
his
going.
14:16 A
wise
man
feareth,
and
departeth
from
evil;
But
the
fool
beareth
himself
insolently,
and
is
confident.
14:17 He
that
is
soon
angry
will
deal
foolishly;
And
a
man
of
wicked
devices
is
hated.
14:18 The
simple
inherit
folly;
But
the
prudent
are
crowned
with
knowledge.
14:19 The
evil
bow
down
before
the
good;
And
the
wicked,
at
the
gates
of
the
righteous.
14:20 The
poor
is
hated
even
of
his
own
neighbor;
But
the
rich
hath
many
friends.
14:21 He
that
despiseth
his
neighbor
sinneth;
But
he
that
hath
pity
on
the
poor,
happy
is
he.
14:22 Do
they
not
err
that
devise
evil
But
mercy
and
truth
[shall
be
to]
them
that
devise
good.
14:23 In
all
labor
there
is
profit;
But
the
talk
of
the
lips
[tendeth]
only
to
penury.
14:24 The
crown
of
the
wise
is
their
riches;
[But]
the
folly
of
fools
is
[only]
folly.
14:25 A
true
witness
delivereth
souls;
But
he
that
uttereth
lies
[causeth]
deceit.
14:26 In
the
fear
of
Jehovah
is
strong
confidence;
And
his
children
shall
have
a
place
of
refuge.
14:27 The
fear
of
Jehovah
is
a
fountain
of
life,
That
one
may
depart
from
the
snares
of
death.
14:28 In
the
multitude
of
people
is
the
king's
glory;
But
in
the
want
of
people
is
the
destruction
of
the
prince.
14:29 He
that
is
slow
to
anger
is
of
great
understanding;
But
he
that
is
hasty
of
spirit
exalteth
folly.
14:30 A
tranquil
heart
is
the
life
of
the
flesh;
But
envy
is
the
rottenness
of
the
bones.
14:31 He
that
oppresseth
the
poor
reproacheth
his
Maker;
But
he
that
hath
mercy
on
the
needy
honoreth
him.
14:32 The
wicked
is
thrust
down
in
his
evil-doing;
But
the
righteous
hath
a
refuge
in
his
death.
14:33 Wisdom
resteth
in
the
heart
of
him
that
hath
understanding;
But
[that
which
is]
in
the
inward
part
of
fools
is
made
known.
14:34 Righteousness
exalteth
a
nation;
But
sin
is
a
reproach
to
any
people.
14:35 The
king's
favor
is
toward
a
servant
that
dealeth
wisely;
But
his
wrath
will
be
[against]
him
that
causeth
shame.
