Proverbs 14:3-12

³In the mouth of a fool is the rod of pride: but the lips of the wise preserve them.

⁴Where there are no oxen, the crib is empty: but where there is much corn, there the strength of the ox is manifest.

⁵A faithful witness will not lie: but a deceitful witness uttereth a lie.

⁶A scorner seeketh wisdom, and findeth it not: the learning of the wise is easy.

⁷Go against a foolish man, and he knoweth not the lips of prudence.

⁸The wisdom of a. discreet man is to understand his way: and the imprudence of fools erreth.

⁹A fool will laugh at sin, but among the just grace shall abide.

¹⁰The heart that knoweth the bitterness of his own soul, in his joy the stranger shall not intermeddle.

¹¹The house of the wicked shall be destroyed: but the tabernacles of the just shall flourish.

¹²There is a way which seemeth just to a man: but the ends thereof lead to death.
