New Testament

Proverbs 14:1-7 English Standard Version (ESV)

1. The wisest of women builds her house,but folly with her own hands tears it down.

2. Whoever walks in uprightness fears the Lord,but he who is devious in his ways despises him.

3. By the mouth of a fool comes a rod for his back, but the lips of the wise will preserve them.

4. Where there are no oxen, the manger is clean,but abundant crops come by the strength of the ox.

5. A faithful witness does not lie,but a false witness breathes out lies.

6. A scoffer seeks wisdom in vain,but knowledge is easy for a man of understanding.

7. Leave the presence of a fool,for there you do not meet words of knowledge.
