14:1 Every
wise
woman
hath
builded
her
house,
And
the
foolish
with
her
hands
breaketh
it
down.
14:2 Whoso
is
walking
in
his
uprightness
is
fearing
Jehovah,
And
the
perverted
[in]
his
ways
is
despising
Him.
14:3 In
the
mouth
of
a
fool
[is]
a
rod
of
pride,
And
the
lips
of
the
wise
preserve
them.
14:4 Without
oxen
a
stall
[is]
clean,
And
great
[is]
the
increase
by
the
power
of
the
ox.
14:5 A
faithful
witness
lieth
not,
And
a
false
witness
breatheth
out
lies.
14:6 A
scorner
hath
sought
wisdom,
and
it
is
not,
And
knowledge
to
the
intelligent
[is]
easy.
14:7 Go
from
before
a
foolish
man,
Or
thou
hast
not
known
the
lips
of
knowledge.
14:8 The
wisdom
of
the
prudent
[is]
to
understand
his
way,
And
the
folly
of
fools
[is]
deceit.
14:9 Fools
mock
at
a
guilt-offering,
And
among
the
upright--a
pleasing
thing.
14:10 The
heart
knoweth
its
own
bitterness,
And
with
its
joy
a
stranger
doth
not
intermeddle.
14:11 The
house
of
the
wicked
is
destroyed,
And
the
tent
of
the
upright
flourisheth.
14:12 There
is
a
way--right
before
a
man,
And
its
latter
end
[are]
ways
of
death.
14:13 Even
in
laughter
is
the
heart
pained,
And
the
latter
end
of
joy
[is]
affliction.
14:14 From
his
ways
is
the
backslider
in
heart
filled,
And
a
good
man--from
his
fruits.
14:15 The
simple
giveth
credence
to
everything,
And
the
prudent
attendeth
to
his
step.
14:16 The
wise
is
fearing
and
turning
from
evil,
And
a
fool
is
transgressing
and
is
confident.
14:17 Whoso
is
short
of
temper
doth
folly,
And
a
man
of
wicked
devices
is
hated.
14:18 The
simple
have
inherited
folly,
And
the
prudent
are
crowned
[with]
knowledge.
14:19 The
evil
have
bowed
down
before
the
good,
And
the
wicked
at
the
gates
of
the
righteous.
14:20 Even
of
his
neighbour
is
the
poor
hated,
And
those
loving
the
rich
[are]
many.
14:21 Whoso
is
despising
his
neighbour
sinneth,
Whoso
is
favouring
the
humble,
O
his
happiness.
14:22 Do
not
they
err
who
are
devising
evil
And
kindness
and
truth
[are]
to
those
devising
good,
14:23 In
all
labour
there
is
advantage,
And
a
thing
of
the
lips
[is]
only
to
want.
14:24 The
crown
of
the
wise
is
their
wealth,
The
folly
of
fools
[is]
folly.
14:25 A
true
witness
is
delivering
souls,
And
a
deceitful
one
breatheth
out
lies.
14:26 In
the
fear
of
Jehovah
[is]
strong
confidence,
And
to
His
sons
there
is
a
refuge.
14:27 The
fear
of
Jehovah
[is]
a
fountain
of
life,
To
turn
aside
from
snares
of
death.
14:28 In
the
multitude
of
a
people
[is]
the
honour
of
a
king,
And
in
lack
of
people
the
ruin
of
a
prince.
14:29 Whoso
is
slow
to
anger
[is]
of
great
understanding,
And
whoso
is
short
in
temper
is
exalting
folly.
14:30 A
healed
heart
[is]
life
to
the
flesh,
And
rottenness
to
the
bones
[is]
envy.
14:31 An
oppressor
of
the
poor
reproacheth
his
Maker,
And
whoso
is
honouring
Him
Is
favouring
the
needy.
14:32 In
his
wickedness
is
the
wicked
driven
away,
And
trustful
in
his
death
[is]
the
righteous.
14:33 In
the
heart
of
the
intelligent
wisdom
doth
rest.
And
in
the
midst
of
fools
it
is
known.
14:34 Righteousness
exalteth
a
nation,
And
the
goodliness
of
peoples
[is]
a
sin-offering.
14:35 The
favour
of
a
king
[is]
to
a
wise
servant,
And
an
object
of
his
wrath
is
one
causing
shame!
