Chapter 14

1


 

  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.
