Proverbs 14:1-13

1. 1 Every wise woman buildeth her house: but the foolish plucketh it down with her hands.

2. 2 He that walketh in his uprightness feareth the LORD: but he that is perverse in his ways despiseth him.

3. 3 In the mouth of the foolish is a rod of pride: but the lips of the wise shall preserve them.

4. 4 Where no oxen are, the crib is clean: but much increase is by the strength of the ox.

5. 5 A faithful witness will not lie: but a false witness will utter lies.

6. 6 A scorner seeketh wisdom, and findeth it not: but knowledge is easy unto him that understandeth.

7. 7 Go from the presence of a foolish man, when thou perceivest not in him the lips of knowledge.

8. 8 The wisdom of the prudent is to understand his way: but the folly of fools is deceit.

9. 9 Fools make a mock at sin: but among the righteous there is favour.

10. 10 The heart knoweth his own bitterness; and a stranger doth not intermeddle with his joy.

11. 11 The house of the wicked shall be overthrown: but the tabernacle of the upright shall flourish.

12. 12 There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.

13. 13 Even in laughter the heart is sorrowful; and the end of that mirth is heaviness.
