Proverbs 14
Book of Proverbs
Proverbs 14:1 Every wise woman buildeth her house: but the foolish
plucketh it down with her hands.
2 He that walketh in his uprightness feareth the Lord: but he that is
perverse in his ways despiseth him.
3 In the mouth of the foolish is a rod of pride: but the lips of the
wise shall preserve them.
4 Where no oxen are, the crib is clean: but much increase is by the
strength of the ox.
5 A faithful witness will not lie: but a false witness will utter lies.
6 A scorner seeketh wisdom, and findeth it not: but knowledge is easy
unto him that understandeth.
7 Go from the presence of a foolish man, when thou perceivest not in him
the lips of knowledge.
8 The wisdom of the prudent is to understand his way: but the folly of
fools is deceit.
9 Fools make a mock at sin: but among the righteous there is favour.
10 The heart knoweth his own bitterness; and a stranger doth not
intermeddle with his joy.
11 The house of the wicked shall be overthrown: but the tabernacle of
the upright shall flourish.
12 There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof
are the ways of death.
13 Even in laughter the heart is sorrowful; and the end of that mirth is
heaviness.
14 The backslider in heart shall be filled with his own ways: and a good
man shall be satisfied from himself.
15 The simple believeth every word: but the prudent man looketh well to
his going.
16 A wise man feareth, and departeth from evil: but the fool rageth, and
is confident.
17 He that is soon angry dealeth foolishly: and a man of wicked devices
is hated.
18 The simple inherit folly: but the prudent are crowned with knowledge.
19 The evil bow before the good; and the wicked at the gates of the
righteous.
20 The poor is hated even of his own neighbour: but the rich hath many
friends.
21 He that despiseth his neighbour sinneth: but he that hath mercy on
the poor, happy is he.
22 Do they not err that devise evil? but mercy and truth shall be to
them that devise good.
23 In all labour there is profit: but the talk of the lips tendeth only
to penury.
24 The crown of the wise is their riches: but the foolishness of fools
is folly.
25 A true witness delivereth souls: but a deceitful witness speaketh
lies.
26 In the fear of the Lord is strong confidence: and his children shall
have a place of refuge.
27 The fear of the Lord is a fountain of life, to depart from the snares
of death.
28 In the multitude of people is the king's honour: but in the want of
people is the destruction of the prince.
29 He that is slow to wrath is of great understanding: but he that is
hasty of spirit exalteth folly.
30 A sound heart is the life of the flesh: but envy the rottenness of
the bones.
31 He that oppresseth the poor reproacheth his Maker: but he that
honoureth him hath mercy on the poor.
32 The wicked is driven away in his wickedness: but the righteous hath
hope in his death.
33 Wisdom resteth in the heart of him that hath understanding: but that
which is in the midst of fools is made known.
34 Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people.
35 The king's favour is toward a wise servant: but his wrath is against
him that causeth shame.
