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.
