Proverbs chapter 14

Every wise woman buildeth her house: but the foolish plucketh it down with her hands.

In the mouth of the foolish is a rod of pride: but the lips of the wise shall preserve them.

A faithful witness will not lie: but a false witness will utter lies.

Go from the presence of a foolish man, when thou perceivest not in him the lips of knowledge.

Fools make a mock at sin: but among the righteous there is favour.

The house of the wicked shall be overthrown: but the tabernacle of the upright shall flourish.

Even in laughter the heart is sorrowful; and the end of that mirth is heaviness.

The simple believeth every word: but the prudent man looketh well to his going.

He that is soon angry dealeth foolishly: and a man of wicked devices is hated.

The evil bow before the good; and the wicked at the gates of the righteous.

He that despiseth his neighbour sinneth: but he that hath mercy on the poor, happy is he.

In all labour there is profit: but the talk of the lips tendeth only to penury.

A true witness delivereth souls: but a deceitful witness speaketh lies.

The fear of the LORD is a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death.

He that is slow to wrath is of great understanding: but he that is hasty of spirit exalteth folly.

He that oppresseth the poor reproacheth his Maker: but he that honoureth him hath mercy on the poor.

Wisdom resteth in the heart of him that hath understanding: but that which is in the midst of fools is made known.

The king's favour is toward a wise servant: but his wrath is against him that causeth shame.
