Proverbs 14

1Every wise womanH802 buildeth her houseH1004; But the foolish plucketh it downH2040 with her own handsH3027.2He that walketh in his uprightnessH3476 feareth Jehovah; But he that is perverse in his waysH1870 despiseth him.3In the mouthH6310 of the foolish is a rod forhisprideH1346; But the lipsH8193 of the wiseH2450 shall preserveH8104 them.4Where no oxen are, the crib is cleanH1249; But much increase is by the strengthH3581 of the oxH7794.5A faithfulH529 witnessH5707 will not lieH8267; But a false witnessH5707 uttereth liesH8267.6A scoffer seeketh wisdomH2451, and findeth it not; But knowledgeH1847 is easy unto him that hath understandingH995.7Go into the presence of a foolish manH376, And thou shalt not perceive in him the lipsH8193 of knowledgeH1847.8The wisdomH2451 of the prudent is to understandH995 his wayH1870; But the follyH200 of foolsH3684 is deceitH4820.9A trespass-offering mocketh foolsH191; But among the uprightH3477 there is good will.10The heartH3820 knoweth its ownH5315 bitterness; And a stranger doth not intermeddle with its joyH8057.11The houseH1004 of the wickedH7563 shall be overthrown; But the tentH168 of the uprightH3477 shall flourish.12There is a wayH1870 which seemeth rightH3477 unto a manH376; But the endH319 thereof are the waysH1870 of deathH4194.13Even in laughterH7814 the heartH3820 is sorrowful; And the endH319 of mirth is heaviness.14The backslider in heartH3820 shall be filled with his own waysH1870; And a goodH2896 manH376shall be satisfiedH7646from himself.15The simple believeth every wordH1697; But the prudent man looketh well to his going.16A wiseH2450 man feareth, and departeth from evilH7451; But the foolH3684 beareth himself insolently, and is confidentH982.17He that is soon angry will deal foolishly; And a manH376 of wicked devices is hatedH8130.18The simple inheritH5157 follyH200; But the prudent are crowned with knowledgeH1847.19The evilH7451 bowH7817 downH7817 before the goodH2896; And the wickedH7563, at the gatesH8179 of the righteousH6662.20The poorH7326 is hatedH8130 even of his own neighborH7453; But the richH6223 hath manyH7227 friendsH7453.21He that despiseth his neighborH7453 sinneth; But he that hath pity on the poorH6041, happy is he.22Do they not errH8582 that devise evilH7451? But mercy and truthH571 shall be to them that devise goodH2896.23In all labor there is profit; But the talk of the lipsH8193tendethonlyH389 to penury.24The crownH5850 of the wiseH2450 is their richesH6239; But the follyH200 of foolsH3684 is only follyH200.25A true witnessH5707 delivereth soulsH5315; But he that uttereth liesH3577 causeth deceitH4820.26In the fearH3374 of Jehovah is strong confidenceH4009; And his children shall have a place of refugeH4268.27The fearH3374 of Jehovah is a fountainH4726 of lifeH2416, That one may departH5493 from the snaresH4170 of deathH4194.28In the multitudeH7230 of peopleH5971 is the king’sH4428 glory; But in the want of peopleH5971 is the destruction of the prince.29He that is slow to angerH639 is of greatH7227 understandingH8394; But he that is hasty of spiritH7307 exalteth follyH200.30A tranquil heartH3820 is the lifeH2416 of the fleshH1320; But envyH7068 is the rottennessH7538 of the bonesH6106.31He that oppresseth the poor reproacheth his Maker; But he that hath mercy on the needyH34 honoreth him.32The wickedH7563 is thrust downH1760 in his evil-doing; But the righteousH6662 hath a refugeH2620 in his deathH4194.33WisdomH2451 resteth in the heartH3820 of him that hath understandingH995; Butthat which isin the inwardH7130 partH7130 of foolsH3684 is madeH3045 knownH3045.34RighteousnessH6666 exalteth a nationH1471; But sinH2403 is a reproach to any people.35The king’sH4428 favorH7522 is toward a servantH5650 that dealeth wisely; But his wrathH5678 will beH1961againsthim that causeth shameH954.
