Proverbs 14

but the foolish one tears it down with her own hands.

but he who is perverse in his ways despises him.

but the lips of the wise protect them.

but much increase is by the strength of the ox.

but a false witness pours out lies.

but knowledge comes easily to a discerning person.

for you won’t find knowledge on his lips.

but the folly of fools is deceit.

but among the upright there is good will.

he will not share these with a stranger.

but the tent of the upright will flourish.

but in the end it leads to death.

and mirth may end in heaviness.

likewise a good man will be rewarded for his ways.

but the prudent man carefully considers his ways.

but the fool is hot headed and reckless.

and a crafty man is hated.

but the prudent are crowned with knowledge.

and the wicked at the gates of the righteous.

but the rich person has many friends.

but he who has pity on the poor is blessed.

But love and faithfulness belong to those who plan good.

but the talk of the lips leads only to poverty.

but the folly of fools crowns them with folly.

but a false witness is deceitful.

and he will be a refuge for his children.

turning people from the snares of death.

but in the lack of people is the destruction of the prince.

but he who has a quick temper displays folly.

but envy rots the bones.

but he who is kind to the needy honors him.

but in death, the righteous has a refuge.

and is even made known in the inward part of fools.

but sin is a disgrace to any people.

but his wrath is toward one who causes shame.
