Pro Proverbs, chapter Proverbs of Solomon, chapter 14
A wise woman buildeth her house: but the foolish will pull down with her hands that also which is built. Pro 12:4; Pro 24:3He that walketh in the right way, and feareth God, Cis despised by him that goeth by an infamous way. Job 12:24In the mouth of a fool is the rod of pride: but the lips of the wise preserve them. Jas 3:5; Pro 12:6Where there are no oxen, the crib is empty: but where there is much corn, there the strength of the ox is manifest. A faithful witness will not lie: but a deceitful witness uttereth a lie. Exo 23:1; Pro 12:17A scorner seeketh wisdom, and findeth it not: the learning of the wise is easy. Sir 1:30Go against a foolish man, and he knoweth not the lips of prudence. The wisdom of a. discreet man is to understand his way: and the imprudence of fools erreth. Psa 138:24A fool will laugh at sin, but among the just grace shall abide. The heart that knoweth the bitterness of his own soul, in his joy the stranger shall not intermeddle. The house of the wicked shall be destroyed: but the tabernacles of the just shall flourish. Pro 12:7There is a way which seemeth just to a man: but the ends thereof lead to death. Pro 16:25Laughter shall be mingled with sorrow, and mourning taketh hold of the end of joy. A fool shall be filled with his own ways, and the good man shall be above him. Isa 3:10The innocent believeth every word: the discreet man considereth his steps. No good shall come to the deceitful son: but the wise servant shall prosper in his dealings, and his way shall be made straight. Rom 16:18; 1Jn 4:1A wise man feareth and declineth from evil: the fool leapeth over and is confident. Psa 110:10The impatient man shall work folly: and the crafty man is hateful. Pro 12:16The childish shall possess folly, and the prudent, shall look for knowledge. Eph 5:15The evil shall fall down before the good: and the wicked before the gates of the just. Isa 60:14The poor man shall be hateful even to his own neighbour: but the friends of the rich are many. Pro 19:7He that despiseth his neighbour, sinneth: but he that sheweth mercy to the poor, shall be blessed. He that believeth in the Lord, loveth mercy. Psa 40:2; Mat 5:7They err that work evil: but mercy and truth prepare good things. In much work there shall be abundance: but where there are many words, there is oftentimes want. Pro 12:11The crown of the wise is their riches: the folly of fools, imprudence. Pro 10:16; Pro 27:22A faithful witness delivereth souls: and the double dealer uttereth lies. Pro 12:17In the fear of the Lord is confidence of strength, and there shall be hope for his children. Pro 18:10The fear of the Lord is a fountain of life, to decline from the ruin of death. Pro 10:17; Pro 10:27; 2Sa 22:6In the multitude of people is the dignity of the king: and in the small number of people the dishonour of the prince. He that is patient, is governed with much wisdom: but he that is impatient, exalteth his folly. Pro 19:11Soundness of heart is the life of the flesh: but envy is the rottenness of the bones. He that oppresseth the poor, upbraideth his Maker: but he that hath pity on the poor, honoureth him. Pro 17:5; Mat 25:36The wicked man shall be driven out in his wickedness: but the just hath hope in his death. Job 21:17; Psa 72:18; Psa 111:8In the heart of the prudent resteth wisdom, and it shall instruct all the ignorant. Justice exalteth a nation: but sin maketh nations miserable. Pro 11:11A wise servant is acceptable to the king: he that is good for nothing shall feel his anger.Luk 7:2; Rom 13:3
