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. 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 breatheth forth lies. Exo 23:1; Pro 12:17A scorner seeketh wisdom, and findeth it not; but knowledge is easy unto him that hath discernment. Go from the presence of a foolish man, for thou wilt not perceive the lips of knowledge. The wisdom of the prudent is to look well to his way; but the folly of fools is deceit. Psa 139:24Amends pleadeth for fools; but among the upright there is good will. The heart knoweth its own bitterness; and with its joy no stranger can intermeddle. The house of the wicked shall be overthrown; but the tent 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 acheth; and the end of mirth is heaviness. The dissembler in heart shall have his fill from his own ways; and a good man shall be satisfied from himself. Isa 3:10The thoughtless believeth every word; but the prudent man looketh well to his going. A wise man feareth, and departeth from evil; but the fool behaveth overbearingly, and is confident. Psa 111:10He that is soon angry dealeth foolishly; and a man of wicked devices is hated. Pro 12:16The thoughtless come into possession of folly; but the prudent are crowned with knowledge. The 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. Pro 19:7He that despiseth his neighbour sinneth; but he that is gracious unto the humble, happy is he. Psa 41:1Shall they not go astray that devise evil? But mercy and truth shall be for 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 folly of fools remaineth folly. Pro 10:16; Pro 27:22A true witness delivereth souls; but he that breatheth forth lies is all deceit. Pro 12:17In the fear of the LORD a man hath 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 glory; but in the want of people is the ruin of the prince. He that is slow to anger is of great understanding; but he that is hasty of spirit exalteth folly. Pro 19:11A tranquil heart is the life of the flesh; but envy is the rottenness of the bones. He that oppresseth the poor blasphemeth his Maker; but he that is gracious unto the needy honoureth Him. Pro 17:5The wicked is thrust down in his misfortune; but the righteous, even when he is brought to death, hath hope. Job 21:17; Psa 73:18; Psa 112:8In the heart of him that hath discernment wisdom resteth; but in the inward part of fools it maketh itself known. Righteousness exalteth a nation; but sin is a reproach to any people. Pro 11:11The king's favour is toward a servant that dealeth wisely; but his wrath striketh him that dealeth shamefully.
