The Book of Proverbs 14

14 The wisest of women builds her house,

but a foolish woman tears it down with her hands.

2 The one walking in his uprightness fears Yahweh,

but the one crooked in his ways despises him.

3 In the mouth of a fool is a rod of pride,

but the lips of the wise ones will preserve them.

4 Where there are no cattle is a trough of cleanness,

but an abundance of produce is by the strength of an ox.

5 A witness of faithfulness will not lie,

but a witness of falsehood breathes out lies.

6 A mocker seeks wisdom and there is none,

but knowledge is easy for the understanding one.

7 Go before a man of stupidity,

and you will not know lips of knowledge.

8 The wisdom of a prudent one is to understand his way,

but the folly of the stupid is deceit.

9 The foolish mock the guilt offering,

but among the upright is favor.

10 A heart knows the bitterness of itself,

and in its joy a stranger will not share.

11 The house of the wicked will be destroyed,

but the tent of the upright will flourish.

12 There is a straight road to the face of a man,

but its end is the ways of death.

13 Even in laughter a heart may ache,

and the end of joy may be grief.

14 A backsliding heart will be filled from his ways,

but a good man, from his deeds.

15 A naive one believes every word,

but a prudent one considers his step.

16 A wise one fears and turns away from trouble,

but a stupid one interferes and is confident.

17 One short of nostrils does folly,

and a man of schemes is hated.

18 Simpletons inherit folly,

but the prudent will wear a crown of knowledge.

19 The evil will bow down before the face of the good,

and the wicked at the gates of the righteous one.

20 One who is poor is hated even by his neighbor,

but those who love the rich are many.

21 The one despising his neighbor sins,

but the one who shows favor to the lowly, happy is he.

22 Do not devisers of evil go astray?

But covenant faithfulness and trustworthiness are devisers of good.

23 With all toil is profit,

but the word of lips is only for lack.

24 The crown of the wise ones is their riches;

the folly of stupid ones is folly.

25 A witness of truth rescues lives,

but a fraud breathes out lies.

26 In the fear of Yahweh is strong confidence,

and for his sons he will be a refuge.

27 The fear of Yahweh is a fountain of life,

to turn away from the snares of death.

28 With the abundance of people is the majesty of a king,

but with the end of the populace comes the ruin of the potentate.

29 One long of nostrils is abundant in understanding,

but one short of spirit lifts up folly.

30 A heart of healing is life to bodies,

but envy is the decay of bones.

31 An oppressor of a lowly one taunts his maker,

but one showing favor to a needy one honors him.

32 By his evil the wicked one is thrust down,

but the righteous one finds refuge in his death.

33 In the heart of the understanding one rests wisdom,

and in the midst of stupid ones she will be known.

34 Righteousness raises a nation,

but sin is shame for peoples.

35 The delight of a king is for the servant who has insight,

but his rage is for one who acts shamefully.
