Proverbs 14:4-9

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.
