The Wise and Foolish Woman
Proverbs 14:1-11
1
Every wise woman hath builded her house, And the foolish with her hands breaketh it down.
2
Whoso is walking in his uprightness is fearing Jehovah, And the perverted in his ways is despising Him.
3
In the mouth of a fool is a rod of pride, And the lips of the wise preserve them.
4
Without oxen a stall is clean, And great is the increase by the power of the ox.
5
A faithful witness lieth not, And a false witness breatheth out lies.
6
A scorner hath sought wisdom, and it is not, And knowledge to the intelligent is easy.
7
Go from before a foolish man, Or thou hast not known the lips of knowledge.
8
The wisdom of the prudent is to understand his way, And the folly of fools is deceit.
9
Fools mock at a guilt-offering, And among the upright--a pleasing thing.
10
The heart knoweth its own bitterness, And with its joy a stranger doth not intermeddle.
11
The house of the wicked is destroyed, And the tent of the upright flourisheth.
