14 The wisest woman builds her house,
^ but the foolish one tears it down with her own hands.
2 A good citizen respects and honours Yahweh,
^ but a devious person despises him.
3 What comes out of a fool’s mouth is prodded on by pride,
^ but the lips of wise people protect them.
4 Where there’s no cattle, the feeding trough will be spotless,
^ but a good harvest requires the strength of the bull.
5 A trustworthy witness doesn’t tell lies,
^ but a biased witness just breathes out lies.
6 A mocker searches for wisdom, but finds none,
^ but knowledge is simple to find for the one who understands.
7 Go away from where a fool is,
→ otherwise you won’t find knowledgable lips.
8 a sensible person has the wisdom to understand their direction,
^ but fools are deceived by their own foolishness.
9 Fools mock the idea of feeling guilty,
→ so good citizens favour each other.
10 A person holds their own bitterness inside,
≈ and they don’t share their happiness with a stranger either.
11 The wicked person’s house will be destroyed,
^ but the good citizen’s tent will do well.
12 There’s a nice path right in front of a person,
→ but there’s death at the end of that road.
13 People who are laughing can still be aching inside,
≈ and the end of happiness might be grief.
14 Someone who turns back on their morals will be satisfied by their ways,
^ but a good person will be satisfied by what they do.
15 Naive people believe everything they hear,
^ but smart people carefully consider their steps.
16 A wise person fears trouble and turns away from it,
^ but a stupid one is careless and overconfident.
17 People who quickly become angry, act foolishly,
≈ and those planning evil schemes are hated.
18 Naive people inherit foolishness,
^ but clever people are surrounded by knowledge.
19 Evil people will be forced to bow down in front of those who are good,
≈ and wicked people at the gates of those who do what’s right.
20 A poor person is hated even by their neighbour,
^ but there are many who love the rich.
21 Anyone who despises their neighbour disobeys God,
^ but the person who is kind to the poor will be happy.
22 Don’t those who devise evil schemes end up losing their way?
^ However, those with loyal commitment and faithfulness devise good things.
23 Hard work results in a profit,
^ but words from lips only lead to poverty.
24 The crown of wise people is their wealth.
^ The foolishness of fools is really foolish.
25 A truthful witness saves lives,
^ but a deceitful one breathes out lies.
26 Respecting and obeying Yahweh leads to confidence of strength,
and that will be a safe place for their children.
27 Respecting and obeying Yahweh is a fountain of life,
→ to turn people from deadly traps.
28 The pride of a king is being over lots of people,
^ but a shortage of people signals the ruin of a ruler.
29 People who are slow to get angry, have more understanding,
^ but a quick-tempered person prioritises foolishness.
30 A peaceful mind gives a healthy body,
^ but envy causes the bones to rot.
31 Anyone who oppresses the poor, taunts their maker,
^ but showing favour to a needy person honours him.
32 Wicked people destroy themselves by doing evil things,
^ but those who do what’s right find a safe place in their death.
33 Wisdom resides in an understanding mind,
→ and it’s made known even among foolish people.
34 Doing what’s right makes a nation great,
^ but disobeying God brings disgrace to people groups.
35 The king shows favour to a servant who acts with insight,
^ but his rage is for those who act shamefully.
