Proverbs 14:5-13 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

5. A faithful witness will not lie: but a deceitful witness uttereth a lie.

6. A scorner seeketh wisdom, and findeth it not: the learning of the wise is easy.

7. Go against a foolish man, and he knoweth not the lips of prudence.

8. The wisdom of a discreet man is to understand his way: and the imprudence of fools erreth.

9. A fool will laugh at sin, but among the just grace shall abide.

10. The heart that knoweth the bitterness of his own soul, in his joy the stranger shall not intermeddle.

11. The house of the wicked shall be destroyed: but the tabernacles of the just shall flourish.

12. There is a way which seemeth just to a man: but the ends thereof lead to death.

13. Laughter shall be mingled with sorrow, and mourning taketh hold of the end of joy.
