Proverbs 14:1-6 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

1. Every wise woman has built her house, But the foolish breaks it down with her hands.

2. He who walks in his straightness fears יהוה, But he whose ways are crooked despises Him.

3. In the mouth of a fool is a rod of pride, But the lips of the wise guard them.

4. Where there are no oxen, the crib is clean; But from the strength of an ox comes much increase.

5. A trustworthy witness does not lie, But a false witness breathes out lies.

6. A scoffer shall seek wisdom but find none, But knowledge is swift to him who has understanding.
