Chapter 14

1


 

  A wise woman buildeth her house: but the foolish will pull down with her hands that also which is built.  

 

 

--

2


 

  He that walketh in the right way, and feareth God, Cis despised by him that goeth by an infamous way.  

 

 

--

3


 

  In the mouth of a fool is the rod of pride: but the lips of the wise preserve them.  

 

 

--

4


 

  Where there are no oxen, the crib is empty: but where there is much corn, there the strength of the ox is manifest.  

 

 

--

5


 

  A faithful witness will not lie: but a deceitful witness uttereth a lie.  

 

 

--

6


 

  A scorner seeketh wisdom, and findeth it not: the learning of the wise is easy.  

 

 

--

7


 

  Go against a foolish man, and he knoweth not the lips of prudence.  

 

 

--

8


 

  The wisdom of a. discreet man is to understand his way: and the imprudence of fools erreth.  

 

 

--

9


 

  A fool will laugh at sin, but among the just grace shall abide.  

 

 

--

10


 

  The heart that knoweth the bitterness of his own soul, in his joy the stranger shall not intermeddle.  

 

 

--

11


 

  The house of the wicked shall be destroyed: but the tabernacles of the just shall flourish.  

 

 

--

12


 

  There is a way which seemeth just to a man: but the ends thereof lead to death.  

 

 

--

13


 

  Laughter shall be mingled with sorrow, and mourning taketh hold of the end of joy.  

 

 

--

14


 

  A fool shall be filled with his own ways, and the good man shall be above him.  

 

 

--

15


 

  The innocent believeth every word: the discreet man considereth his steps. No good shall come to the deceitful son: but the wise servant shall prosper in his dealings, and his way shall be made straight.  

 

 

--

16


 

  A wise man feareth and declineth from evil: the fool leapeth over and is confident.  

 

 

--

17


 

  The impatient man shall work folly: and the crafty man is hateful.  

 

 

--

18


 

  The childish shall possess folly, and the prudent, shall look for knowledge.  

 

 

--

19


 

  The evil shall fall down before the good: and the wicked before the gates of the just.  

 

 

--

20


 

  The poor man shall be hateful even to his own neighbour: but the friends of the rich are many.  

 

 

--

21


 

  He that despiseth his neighbour, sinneth: but he that sheweth mercy to the poor, shall be blessed. He that believeth in the Lord, loveth mercy.  

 

 

--

22


 

  They err that work evil: but mercy and truth prepare good things.  

 

 

--

23


 

  In much work there shall be abundance: but where there are many words, there is oftentimes want.  

 

 

--

24


 

  The crown of the wise is their riches: the folly of fools, imprudence.  

 

 

--

25


 

  A faithful witness delivereth souls: and the double dealer uttereth lies.  

 

 

--

26


 

  In the fear of the Lord is confidence of strength, and there shall be hope for his children.  

 

 

--

27


 

  The fear of the Lord is a fountain of life, to decline from the ruin of death.  

 

 

--

28


 

  In the multitude of people is the dignity of the king: and in the small number of people the dishonour of the prince.  

 

 

--

29


 

  He that is patient, is governed with much wisdom: but he that is impatient, exalteth his folly.  

 

 

--

30


 

  Soundness of heart is the life of the flesh: but envy is the rottenness of the bones.  

 

 

--

31


 

  He that oppresseth the poor, upbraideth his Maker: but he that hath pity on the poor, honoureth him.  

 

 

--

32


 

  The wicked man shall be driven out in his wickedness: but the just hath hope in his death.  

 

 

--

33


 

  In the heart of the prudent resteth wisdom, and it shall instruct all the ignorant.  

 

 

--

34


 

  Justice exalteth a nation: but sin maketh nations miserable.  

 

 

--

35


 

  A wise servant is acceptable to the king: he that is good for nothing shall feel his anger.
