Proverbs 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 favor. |
|
|
10 |
The heart knoweth his own bitterness;
|
and a stranger doth not intermeddle with his
joy. |
|
|
11 |
The house of the wicked shall be
overthrown:
|
but the tabernacle of the upright shall
flourish. |
|
|
12 |
There is a way which seemeth right unto a
man;
|
13 |
Even in laughter the heart is
sorrowful;
|
and the end of that mirth is heaviness. |
|
|
14 |
The backslider in heart shall be filled
with his own ways:
|
and a good man shall be satisfied from
himself. |
|
|
15 |
The simple believeth every word:
|
but the prudent man looketh well to his
going. |
|
|
16 |
A wise man feareth, and departeth
from evil:
|
but the fool rageth, and is
confident. |
|
|
17 |
He that is soon angry dealeth
foolishly:
|
and a man of wicked devices is
hated. |
|
|
18 |
The simple inherit folly:
|
but the prudent are crowned with
knowledge. |
|
|
19 |
The evil bow before the good;
|
and the wicked at the gates of the
righteous. |
|
|
20 |
The poor is hated even of his own
neighbor:
|
but the rich hath many
friends. |
|
|
21 |
He that despiseth his neighbor
sinneth:
|
but he that hath mercy on the poor, happy is he. |
|
|
22 |
Do they not err that devise evil?
|
But mercy and truth shall be to them that
devise
good. |
|
|
23 |
In all labor there is profit:
|
but the talk of the lips tendeth only to
penury. |
|
|
24 |
The crown of the wise is their
riches:
|
but the foolishness of fools is folly. |
|
|
25 |
A true witness delivereth souls:
|
but a deceitful witness speaketh
lies. |
|
|
26 |
In the fear of the LORD is strong confidence:
|
and his children shall have a place of
refuge. |
|
|
27 |
The fear of the LORD is a fountain of life,
|
to depart from the snares of
death. |
|
|
28 |
In the multitude of people is the
king's honor:
|
but in the want of people is the destruction
of the
prince. |
|
|
29 |
He that is slow to wrath is of great understanding:
|
but he that is hasty of spirit exalteth
folly. |
|
|
30 |
A sound heart is the life of the
flesh:
|
but envy the rottenness of the
bones. |
|
|
31 |
He that oppresseth the poor reproacheth
his Maker:
|
but he that honoreth him hath mercy on the
poor. |
|
|
32 |
The wicked is driven away in his
wickedness:
|
but the righteous hath hope in his
death. |
|
|
33 |
Wisdom resteth in the heart of him that
hath understanding:
|
but that which is in the midst of fools is
made
known. |
|
|
34 |
Righteousness exalteth a nation:
|
but sin is a reproach to any
people. |
|
|
35 |
The king's favor is toward a wise
servant:
|
but his wrath is against him that causeth
shame. |
