# Chapter 14
|
|
1. The wise woman builds her house,
|
|
But the foolish pulls it down with her hands.
|
|
|
|
2. He who walks in his uprightness fears the Lord,
|
|
But he who is perverse in his ways despises Him.
|
|
|
|
3. In the mouth of a fool is a rod of pride,
|
|
But the lips of the wise will preserve them.
|
|
|
|
4. Where no oxen are, the trough is clean;
|
|
But much increase comes by the strength of an ox.
|
|
|
|
5. A faithful witness does not lie,
|
|
But a false witness will utter lies.
|
|
|
|
6. A scoffer seeks wisdom and does not find it,
|
|
But knowledge is easy to him who understands.
|
|
|
|
7. Go from the presence of a foolish man,
|
|
When you do not perceive 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 mock at sin,
|
|
But among the upright there is favor.
|
|
|
|
10. The heart knows its own bitterness,
|
|
And a stranger does not share its joy.
|
|
|
|
11. The house of the wicked will be overthrown,
|
|
But the tent of the upright will flourish.
|
|
|
|
12. There is a way that seems right to a man,
|
|
But its end is the way of death.
|
|
|
|
13. Even in laughter the heart may sorrow,
|
|
And the end of mirth may be grief.
|
|
|
|
14. The backslider in heart will be filled with his own ways,
|
|
But a good man will be satisfied from above.
|
|
|
|
15. The simple believes every word,
|
|
But the prudent considers well his steps.
|
|
|
|
16. A wise man fears and departs from evil,
|
|
But a fool rages and is self-confident.
|
|
|
|
17. A quick-tempered man acts foolishly,
|
|
And a man of wicked intentions is hated.
|
|
|
|
18. The simple inherit folly,
|
|
But the prudent are crowned with knowledge.
|
|
|
|
19. The evil will bow before the good,
|
|
And the wicked at the gates of the righteous.
|
|
|
|
20. The poor man is hated even by his own neighbor,
|
|
But the rich has many friends.
|
|
|
|
21. He who despises his neighbor sins;
|
|
But he who has mercy on the poor, happy is he.
|
|
|
|
22. Do they not go astray who devise evil?
|
|
But mercy and truth belong to those who devise good.
|
|
|
|
23. In all labor there is profit,
|
|
But idle chatter leads only to poverty.
|
|
|
|
24. The crown of the wise is their riches,
|
|
But the foolishness of fools is folly.
|
|
|
|
25. A true witness delivers souls,
|
|
But a deceitful witness speaks lies.
|
|
|
|
26. In the fear of the Lord there is strong confidence,
|
|
And His children will have a place of refuge.
|
|
|
|
27. The fear of the Lord is a fountain of life,
|
|
To turn one away from the snares of death.
|
|
|
|
28. In a multitude of people is a king's honor,
|
|
But in the lack of people is the downfall of a prince.
|
|
|
|
29. He who is slow to wrath has great understanding,
|
|
But he who is impulsive exalts folly.
|
|
|
|
30. A sound heart is life to the body,
|
|
But envy is rottenness to the bones.
|
|
|
|
31. He who oppresses the poor reproaches his Maker,
|
|
But he who honors Him has mercy on the needy.
|
|
|
|
32. The wicked is banished in his wickedness,
|
|
But the righteous has a refuge in his death.
|
|
|
|
33. Wisdom rests in the heart of him who has understanding,
|
|
But what is in the heart of fools is made known.
|
|
|
|
34. Righteousness exalts 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 who causes shame.
