Proverbs 14 1A wise woman builds up her house everywise 1The foolish one wreaks by her hands its demise 2One fearing Jehovah may walk on upright 2Despising him those are who wayward take flight 3The word of a fool is a prideful attack 3The lips of the wise ones will surely hold back 4The manger is cleaner when free of the bull 4But great is the income that oxen can pull 5A prince who is faithful is true as a die 5But he who is false makes a life of a lie 6A teacher in racking his brain nothing finds 6A student may much learn from inferior minds 7Take leave of a fool go from him yes depart 7For you in his word will find no learned art 8The wisdom of wise ones is knowing their way 8But fraud is the folly of fools as they say 9A fool is the one who is mocking at guilt 9The righteous delight when a man is upbuilt 10The heart of a man is of trouble aware 10And strangers will not in his joy have a share 11The house of the wicked shall be overthrown 11The tent of the upright will sprout and be known 12The way of a man may he think to be just 12But then at its end it is die as he must 13As even in laughter the heart may know pain 13So grief is the end to which mirth will attain 14The faithless at heart sees the fruit of ill will 14A good man will eat of good fruit to his fill 15The foolish those are who believe idle talk 15The prudent one is who looks after his walk 16A wise man reveres and departs from a wrong 16A fool rages on and in hope lingers long 17The one quick to anger will foolishly deal 17And hated are those who their plotting conceal 18The trust of a fool is where folly is found 18But knowledge will fully a wise one surround 19To good ones the evil ones bow in the dust 19And wicked ones kneel at the gates of the just 20The poor man is hated by even a friend 20But riches will many a man honour lend 21The man who despises his neighbour is bad 21While he who has mercy on poorfolk is glad 22Devisers of evil things err do they not 22While makers of good will have truth as their lot 23The fruit of all labour is profit indeed 23The word of the lip will result in a need 24The crown of the wise ones is riches and more 24While fools in their folly their folly adore 25Reliable witnesses truly do save 25But lying ones blow their hot air to the grave 26The fear of Jehovah is strength to endure 26His children will hope in a place to be sure 27The fear of Jehovah is life from a spring 27That one may depart from a death-dealing thing 28The honour of kings is in multitude grand 28But princes will fail when no men are at hand 29The one slow to anger is wise of a kind 29But praised folly is by the hasty of mind 30The life of the soul is a heart that is sound 30In envious bones is where rot will be found 31It slights your creator from poor men to steal 31And honour you him when with mercy you deal 32The wicked is driven away in distress 32But even in death hope the righteous to bless 33His wisdom resides in the heart of the wise 33The focus of fools will be known they advise 34And righteousness raises a nation on high 34But people confronted with sin only sigh 35A king will delight to his favour extend 35To any wise servant he honour will lend 35The passion of kings is an outburst of flame 35That rages at those disappointing for shame © copyright 2003-2006 Ward Green.

Proverbs 14 1 Every wise woman buildeth her house; But the foolish plucketh it down with her own hands. Proverbs 14 2 He that walketh in his uprightness feareth Jehovah; But he that is perverse in his ways despiseth him. Proverbs 14 3 In the mouth of the foolish is a rod for [his] pride; But the lips of the wise shall preserve them. Proverbs 14 4 Where no oxen are, the crib is clean; But much increase is by the strength of the ox. Proverbs 14 5 A faithful witness will not lie; But a false witness uttereth lies. Proverbs 14 6 A scoffer seeketh wisdom, and [findeth it] not; But knowledge is easy unto him that hath understanding. Proverbs 14 7 Go into the presence of a foolish man, And thou shalt not perceive [in him] the lips of knowledge. Proverbs 14 8 The wisdom of the prudent is to understand his way; But the folly of fools is deceit. Proverbs 14 9 A trespass-offering mocketh fools; But among the upright there is good will. Proverbs 14 10 The heart knoweth its own bitterness; And a stranger doth not intermeddle with its joy. Proverbs 14 11 The house of the wicked shall be overthrown; But the tent of the upright shall flourish. Proverbs 14 12 There is a way which seemeth right unto a man; But the end thereof are the ways of death. Proverbs 14 13 Even in laughter the heart is sorrowful; And the end of mirth is heaviness. Proverbs 14 14 The backslider in heart shall be filled with his own ways; And a good man [shall be satisfied] from himself. Proverbs 14 15 The simple believeth every word; But the prudent man looketh well to his going. Proverbs 14 16 A wise man feareth, and departeth from evil; But the fool beareth himself insolently, and is confident. Proverbs 14 17 He that is soon angry will deal foolishly; And a man of wicked devices is hated. Proverbs 14 18 The simple inherit folly; But the prudent are crowned with knowledge. Proverbs 14 19 The evil bow down before the good; And the wicked, at the gates of the righteous. Proverbs 14 20 The poor is hated even of his own neighbor; But the rich hath many friends. Proverbs 14 21 He that despiseth his neighbor sinneth; But he that hath pity on the poor, happy is he. Proverbs 14 22 Do they not err that devise evil? But mercy and truth [shall be to] them that devise good. Proverbs 14 23 In all labor there is profit; But the talk of the lips [tendeth] only to penury. Proverbs 14 24 The crown of the wise is their riches; [But] the folly of fools is [only] folly. Proverbs 14 25 A true witness delivereth souls; But he that uttereth lies [causeth] deceit. Proverbs 14 26 In the fear of Jehovah is strong confidence; And his children shall have a place of refuge. Proverbs 14 27 The fear of Jehovah is a fountain of life, That one may depart from the snares of death. Proverbs 14 28 In the multitude of people is the king`s glory; But in the want of people is the destruction of the prince. Proverbs 14 29 He that is slow to anger is of great understanding; But he that is hasty of spirit exalteth folly. Proverbs 14 30 A tranquil heart is the life of the flesh; But envy is the rottenness of the bones. Proverbs 14 31 He that oppresseth the poor reproacheth his Maker; But he that hath mercy on the needy honoreth him. Proverbs 14 32 The wicked is thrust down in his evil-doing; But the righteous hath a refuge in his death. Proverbs 14 33 Wisdom resteth in the heart of him that hath understanding; But [that which is] in the inward part of fools is made known. Proverbs 14 34 Righteousness exalteth a nation; But sin is a reproach to any people. Proverbs 14 35 The king`s favor is toward a servant that dealeth wisely; But his wrath will be [against] him that causeth shame. |
