Proverbs 14

but the foolish tears it down with her hands.
2  but he who is devious in his ways displeases him.
3  but the lips of the wise preserve them.
4 [fn] oxen the manger is empty, but an abundance of crops comes by the strength of an ox.[fn]
5 but he who breathes out falsehood is a witness of deceit.
6  but knowledge[fn]
7 [fn] for you will not come to know[fn]
8  but the folly of fools is deceit.
9 [fn] the guilt offering, but among the upright, it is favorable.
10 [fn] knows the bitterness of its soul,[fn] but in its joy, it will not share itself with a stranger.
11  but the tent of the upright will flourish.
12 that seems upright[fn] a man, but its end is the way of death.
13  and the end of joy may be grief.
14  and[fn] so shall a good man.
15  but the clever will consider his step.
16  but the fool throws off restraint and is confident.
17 [fn] will act foolishly, and the man who schemes will be hated.
18 with folly, but the clever are crowned with knowledge.
19  and the wicked at the gates of the righteous.
20  but the lovers of the rich are many.
21  but he who has mercy on the poor blesses him.
22  But loyalty and faithfulness belong to those who plan good.
23  but the[fn] of lips leads only to poverty.
24 is their wealth; the folly of fools is folly.
25 [fn] is a witness of truth, but he who utters lies is a betrayer.
26  and for his children, there will be refuge.
27 is a fountain of life, in order to turn from the snares of death.
28  but without a population, a prince is ruined.
29 He who is slow to anger has great understanding, but the hasty of spirit[fn] exalts folly.
30 [fn] of tranquility[fn] is life to the flesh, but causes bones of passion to rot.
31  but he who has mercy on the poor honors him.
32  and the righteous will find refuge in his death.
33 [fn] of him who has understanding, wisdom rests, but even in the midst of fools it becomes known.
34  but sin is a reproach to a people.
35 is for the servant who deals wisely, but his wrath will be on him who acts shamefully.
