Proverbs 14:1-10
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 14
1
The wise woman builds her house,
But the foolish tears it down with her own hands.
2
One who walks in his uprightness fears the
Lord
,
But one who is devious in his ways despises Him.
3
In the mouth of the foolish is a rod for
his
back,
But the lips of the wise will protect them.
4
Where there are no oxen, the manger is clean;
But much revenue
comes
by the strength of the ox.
5
A trustworthy witness will not lie,
But a false witness declares lies.
6
A scoffer seeks wisdom and
finds
none,
But knowledge is easy for one who has understanding.
7
Leave the presence of a fool,
Or you will not discern words of knowledge.
8
The wisdom of the sensible is to understand his way,
But the foolishness of fools is deceit.
9
Fools mock at sin,
But among the upright there is goodwill.
10
The heart knows its own bitterness,
And a stranger does not share its joy.
King James Version
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.
