Chapter 14

1


 

  Every wise woman hath builded her house, And the foolish with her hands breaketh it down.  

 

 

--

2


 

  Whoso is walking in his uprightness is fearing Jehovah, And the perverted [in] his ways is despising Him.  

 

 

--

3


 

  In the mouth of a fool [is] a rod of pride, And the lips of the wise preserve them.  

 

 

--

4


 

  Without oxen a stall [is] clean, And great [is] the increase by the power of the ox.  

 

 

--

5


 

  A faithful witness lieth not, And a false witness breatheth out lies.  

 

 

--

6


 

  A scorner hath sought wisdom, and it is not, And knowledge to the intelligent [is] easy.  

 

 

--

7


 

  Go from before a foolish man, Or thou hast not known the lips of knowledge.  

 

 

--

8


 

  The wisdom of the prudent [is] to understand his way, And the folly of fools [is] deceit.  

 

 

--

9


 

  Fools mock at a guilt-offering, And among the upright -- a pleasing thing.  

 

 

--

10


 

  The heart knoweth its own bitterness, And with its joy a stranger doth not intermeddle.  

 

 

--

11


 

  The house of the wicked is destroyed, And the tent of the upright flourisheth.  

 

 

--

12


 

  There is a way -- right before a man, And its latter end [are] ways of death.  

 

 

--

13


 

  Even in laughter is the heart pained, And the latter end of joy [is] affliction.  

 

 

--

14


 

  From his ways is the backslider in heart filled, And a good man -- from his fruits.  

 

 

--

15


 

  The simple giveth credence to everything, And the prudent attendeth to his step.  

 

 

--

16


 

  The wise is fearing and turning from evil, And a fool is transgressing and is confident.  

 

 

--

17


 

  Whoso is short of temper doth folly, And a man of wicked devices is hated.  

 

 

--

18


 

  The simple have inherited folly, And the prudent are crowned [with] knowledge.  

 

 

--

19


 

  The evil have bowed down before the good, And the wicked at the gates of the righteous.  

 

 

--

20


 

  Even of his neighbour is the poor hated, And those loving the rich [are] many.  

 

 

--

21


 

  Whoso is despising his neighbour sinneth, Whoso is favouring the humble, O his happiness.  

 

 

--

22


 

  Do not they err who are devising evil? And kindness and truth [are] to those devising good,  

 

 

--

23


 

  In all labour there is advantage, And a thing of the lips [is] only to want.  

 

 

--

24


 

  The crown of the wise is their wealth, The folly of fools [is] folly.  

 

 

--

25


 

  A true witness is delivering souls, And a deceitful one breatheth out lies.  

 

 

--

26


 

  In the fear of Jehovah [is] strong confidence, And to His sons there is a refuge.  

 

 

--

27


 

  The fear of Jehovah [is] a fountain of life, To turn aside from snares of death.  

 

 

--

28


 

  In the multitude of a people [is] the honour of a king, And in lack of people the ruin of a prince.  

 

 

--

29


 

  Whoso is slow to anger [is] of great understanding, And whoso is short in temper is exalting folly.  

 

 

--

30


 

  A healed heart [is] life to the flesh, And rottenness to the bones [is] envy.  

 

 

--

31


 

  An oppressor of the poor reproacheth his Maker, And whoso is honouring Him Is favouring the needy.  

 

 

--

32


 

  In his wickedness is the wicked driven away, And trustful in his death [is] the righteous.  

 

 

--

33


 

  In the heart of the intelligent wisdom doth rest. And in the midst of fools it is known.  

 

 

--

34


 

  Righteousness exalteth a nation, And the goodliness of peoples [is] a sin-offering.  

 

 

--

35


 

  The favour of a king [is] to a wise servant, And an object of his wrath is one causing shame!
