Proverbs 14:2-8

²A man going in rightful or right way, and dreading God, is despised of him that goeth in the way of evil fame.

³The rod of pride is in the mouth of a fool; the lips of wise men keep them.

⁴Where oxen be not, the cratch is void; but where full many corns appear, there the strength of the ox is made open.

⁵A faithful witness shall not lie; a guileful witness bringeth forth a leasing.

⁶A scorner seeketh wisdom, and he findeth it not; the teaching of prudent men is easy.

⁷Go thou against a man a fool; and he shall not know the lips of prudence.

⁸The wisdom of a fell or witting man is to understand his way; and the unwariness of fools erreth.
