Proverbs:14
Seeker Overlay ON
*
The wisdom of women buildeth their house ;
but folly plucketh it down with her hands .
*
He that walketh in his uprightness feareth Jehovah ;
but he that is perverted in his ways despiseth him .
*
In the fool '
s mouth is a rod of pride ;
but the lips of the wise shall preserve them .
*
Where no oxen are ,
the crib is clean ;
but much increase is by the strength of the ox .
*
A faithful witness will not lie ;
but a false witness uttereth lies .
*
A scorner seeketh wisdom ,
and there is none [
for him ];
but knowledge is easy unto the intelligent .
*
Go from the presence of a foolish man ,
in whom thou perceivest not the lips of knowledge .
*
The wisdom of the prudent is to discern his way ;
but the folly of the foolish is deceit .
*
Fools make a mock at trespass ;
but for the upright there is favour .
*
The heart knoweth its own bitterness ,
and a stranger doth not intermeddle with its joy .
*
The house of the wicked shall be overthrown ;
but the tent of the upright shall flourish .
*
There is a way that seemeth right unto a man ,
but the end thereof is the ways of death .
*
Even in laughter the heart is sorrowful ,
and the end of mirth is sadness .
*
The backslider in heart shall be filled with his own ways ,
and the good man from what is in himself .
*
The simple believeth every word ;
but the prudent [
man ]
heedeth his going .
*
A wise [
man ]
feareth and departeth from evil ;
but the foolish is overbearing and confident .
*
He that is soon angry dealeth foolishly ,
and a man of mischievous devices is hated .
*
The simple inherit folly ;
but the prudent are crowned with knowledge .
*
The evil bow before the good ,
and the wicked at the gates of the righteous [
man ].
*
He that is poor is hated even of his own neighbour ;
but the rich hath many friends .
*
He that despiseth his neighbour sinneth ;
but he that is gracious to the afflicted ,
happy is he .
*
Do they not err that devise evil ?
but loving-kindness and truth are for those that devise good .
*
In all labour there is profit ;
but the talk of the lips [
tendeth ]
only to want .
*
The crown of the wise is their riches ;
the folly of the foolish is folly .
*
A true witness delivereth souls ;
but deceit uttereth lies .
*
In the fear of Jehovah is strong confidence ,
and his children shall have a place of refuge .
*
The fear of Jehovah is a fountain of life ,
to turn away from the snares of death .
*
In the multitude of people is the king '
s glory ;
but in the lack of people is the ruin of a prince .
*
He that is slow to anger is of great understanding ;
but he that is hasty of spirit exalteth folly .
*
A sound heart is the life of the flesh ;
but envy the rottenness of the bones .
*
He that oppresseth the poor reproacheth his Maker ;
but he that honoureth Him is gracious to the needy .
*
The wicked is driven away by his evil-doing ;
but the righteous trusteth , [
even ]
in his death .
*
Wisdom resteth in the heart of the intelligent [
man ];
but that which is in the foolish maketh itself known .
*
Righteousness exalteth a nation ;
but sin is a reproach to peoples .
*
The king '
s favour is toward a wise servant ;
but his wrath is [
against ]
him that causeth shame .
