* Every wise woman buildeth her house : but the foolish plucketh it down with her hands . * He that walketh in his uprightness feareth the LORD : but he that is perverse in his ways despiseth him . * In the mouth of the foolish is a rod of pride ga #avah #: 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 will utter lies . * A scorner seeketh wisdom , and findeth it not : but knowledge is easy unto him that understandeth . * Go from the presence of a foolish man , when thou perceivest not in him the lips of knowledge da #ath #. * The wisdom of the prudent is to understand his way : but the folly of fools is deceit . * Fools make a mock at sin : but among the righteous there is favour . * The heart knoweth his own bitterness ; and a stranger doth not intermeddle with his joy . * The house of the wicked shall be overthrown : but the tabernacle of the upright shall flourish . * There is a way which seemeth right unto a man , but the end thereof are the ways of death . * Even in laughter the heart is sorrowful ka '; and the end of that mirth is heaviness . * The backslider in heart shall be filled with his own ways : and a good man shall be satisfied from himself . * The simple believeth every word : but the prudent man looketh well to his going . * A wise man feareth , and departeth from evil : but the fool rageth , and is confident . * He that is soon angry dealeth foolishly : and a man of wicked devices is hated . * The simple inherit folly : but the prudent are crowned with knowledge da #ath #. * The evil bow before the good ; and the wicked at the gates of the righteous . * The poor is hated even of his own neighbour : but the rich hath many friends . * He that despiseth his neighbour sinneth : but he that hath mercy on the poor #, happy is he . * Do they not err that devise evil ? but mercy and truth shall be to them that devise good . * In all labour there is profit : but the talk of the lips tendeth only to penury . * The crown of the wise is their riches : but the foolishness of fools is folly . * A true witness delivereth souls : but a deceitful witness speaketh lies . * In the fear of the LORD is strong confidence : and his children shall have a place of refuge . * The fear of the LORD is a fountain of life , to depart from the snares of death . * In the multitude of people is the kings honour : but in the want of people is the destruction of the prince . * He that is slow to wrath 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 hath mercy on the poor . * The wicked is driven away in his wickedness : but the righteous hath hope in his death . * Wisdom resteth in the heart of him that hath understanding : but that which is in the midst of fools is made known . * Righteousness exalteth a nation : but sin is a reproach to any people . * The kings favour is toward a wise servant : but his wrath is against him that causeth shame .
