PROVERBS     |     CHAPTER 14

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