Proverbs 14:3-9 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

3. In the mouth of the fool is a rod for pride,but the lips of the wise preserve them.

4. Where there are no oxen, the crib is clean;but abundant crops come through the strength of the bull.

5. A trustworthy witness does not lie,but one who spouts lies makes a lying witness.

6. The scoffer seeks wisdom in vain,but knowledge is easy for the intelligent.

7. Go from the face of the fool;you get no knowledge from such lips.

8. The wisdom of the shrewd enlightens their way,but the folly of fools is deceit.

9. The wicked scorn a guilt offering,but the upright find acceptance.
