PR-14:1  Every wise woman buildeth her house: but the foolish

plucketh it down

with her hands.

PR-14:2  He that walketh in his uprightness feareth the LORD:

but [he that is]

perverse in his ways despiseth him.

PR-14:3  In the mouth of the foolish [is] a rod of pride: but

the lips of the

wise shall preserve them.

PR-14:4  Where no oxen [are], the crib [is] clean: but much

increase [is] by

the strength of the ox.

PR-14:5  A faithful witness will not lie: but a false witness

will utter lies.

PR-14:6  A scorner seeketh wisdom, and [findeth it] not: but

knowledge [is]

easy unto him that understandeth.

PR-14:7  Go from the presence of a foolish man, when thou

perceivest not [in

him] the lips of knowledge.

PR-14:8  The wisdom of the prudent [is] to understand his way:

but the folly

of fools [is] deceit.

PR-14:9  Fools make a mock at sin: but among the righteous

[there is] favour.

PR-14:10  The heart knoweth his own bitterness; and a stranger

doth not

intermeddle with his joy.

PR-14:11  The house of the wicked shall be overthrown: but the

tabernacle of

the upright shall flourish.

PR-14:12  There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the

end thereof

[are] the ways of death.

PR-14:13  Even in laughter the heart is sorrowful; and the end

of that mirth

[is] heaviness.

PR-14:14  The backslider in heart shall be filled with his own

ways: and a

good man [shall be satisfied] from himself.

PR-14:15  The simple believeth every word: but the prudent [man]

looketh well

to his going.

PR-14:16  A wise [man] feareth, and departeth from evil: but the

fool rageth,

and is confident.

PR-14:17  [He that is] soon angry dealeth foolishly: and a man

of wicked

devices is hated.

PR-14:18  The simple inherit folly: but the prudent are crowned

with

knowledge.

PR-14:19  The evil bow before the good; and the wicked at the

gates of the

righteous.

PR-14:20  The poor is hated even of his own neighbour: but the

rich [hath]

many friends.

PR-14:21  He that despiseth his neighbour sinneth: but he that

hath mercy on

the poor, happy [is] he.

PR-14:22  Do they not err that devise evil? but mercy and truth

[shall be] to

them that devise good.

PR-14:23  In all labour there is profit: but the talk of the

lips [tendeth]

only to penury.

PR-14:24  The crown of the wise [is] their riches: [but] the

foolishness of

fools [is] folly.

PR-14:25  A true witness delivereth souls: but a deceitful

[witness] speaketh

lies.

PR-14:26  In the fear of the LORD [is] strong confidence: and

his children

shall have a place of refuge.

PR-14:27  The fear of the LORD [is] a fountain of life, to

depart from the

snares of death.

PR-14:28  In the multitude of people [is] the king's honour: but

in the want

of people [is] the destruction of the prince.

PR-14:29  [He that is] slow to wrath [is] of great understanding:

 but [he that

is] hasty of spirit exalteth folly.

PR-14:30  A sound heart [is] the life of the flesh: but envy the

rottenness of

the bones.

PR-14:31  He that oppresseth the poor reproacheth his Maker: but

he that

honoureth him hath mercy on the poor.

PR-14:32  The wicked is driven away in his wickedness: but the

righteous hath

hope in his death.

PR-14:33  Wisdom resteth in the heart of him that hath

understanding: but

[that which is] in the midst of fools is made known.

PR-14:34  Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin [is] a

reproach to any

people.

PR-14:35  The king's favour [is] toward a wise servant: but his

wrath is

[against] him that causeth shame.
