Pro Proverbs, chapter Proverbs of Solomon, chapter 14
Every wise woman buildeth her house: but the foolish plucketh it down with her hands. Pro 12:4; Pro 24:3He that walketh in his uprightness feareth the LORD: but he that is perverse in his ways despiseth him. Job 12:24In the mouth of the foolish is a rod of pride: but the lips of the wise shall preserve them. Jas 3:5; Pro 12:6Where no oxen are, the crib is clean: but much increase is by the strength of the ox. A faithful witness will not lie: but a false witness will utter lies. Exo 23:1; Pro 12:17A scorner seeketh wisdom, and findeth it not: but knowledge is easy unto him that understandeth. Go from the presence of a foolish man, when thou perceivest not in him the lips of knowledge. The wisdom of the prudent is to understand his way: but the folly of fools is deceit. Psa 139:24Fools make a mock at sin: but among the righteous there is favour. The heart knoweth his own bitterness; and a stranger doth not intermeddle with his joy.14.10 his own…: Heb. the bitterness of his soul The house of the wicked shall be overthrown: but the tabernacle of the upright shall flourish. Pro 12:7There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death. Pro 16:25Even in laughter the heart is sorrowful; and the end of that mirth is heaviness. The backslider in heart shall be filled with his own ways: and a good man shall be satisfied from himself. Isa 3:10The simple believeth every word: but the prudent man looketh well to his going. Rom 16:18; 1Jn 4:1A wise man feareth, and departeth from evil: but the fool rageth, and is confident. Psa 111:10He that is soon angry dealeth foolishly: and a man of wicked devices is hated. Pro 12:16The simple inherit folly: but the prudent are crowned with knowledge. Eph 5:15The evil bow before the good; and the wicked at the gates of the righteous. Isa 60:14The poor is hated even of his own neighbour: but the rich hath many friends.14.20 the rich…: Heb. many are the lovers of the rich Pro 19:7He that despiseth his neighbour sinneth: but he that hath mercy on the poor, happy is he. Psa 41:1; Mat 5:7Do they not err that devise evil? but mercy and truth shall be to them that devise good. In all labour there is profit: but the talk of the lips tendeth only to penury. Pro 12:11The crown of the wise is their riches: but the foolishness of fools is folly. Pro 10:16; Pro 27:22A true witness delivereth souls: but a deceitful witness speaketh lies.Pro 12:17
In the fear of the LORD is strong confidence: and his children shall have a place of refuge. Pro 18:10The fear of the LORD is a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death. Pro 10:17; Pro 10:27; 2Sa 22:6In the multitude of people is the king’s honour: but in the want of people is the destruction of the prince. He that is slow to wrath is of great understanding: but he that is hasty of spirit exalteth folly.14.29 hasty…: Heb. short of spirit Pro 19:11A sound heart is the life of the flesh: but envy the rottenness of the bones. He that oppresseth the poor reproacheth his Maker: but he that honoureth him hath mercy on the poor. Pro 17:5; Mat 25:36The wicked is driven away in his wickedness: but the righteous hath hope in his death. Job 21:17; Psa 73:18; Psa 112:8Wisdom resteth in the heart of him that hath understanding: but that which is in the midst of fools is made known. Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people.14.34 to any…: Heb. to nations Pro 11:11The king’s favour is toward a wise servant: but his wrath is against him that causeth shame.Luk 7:2; Rom 13:3
