Proverbs 14:1-9 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

1. A wise woman strengthens her family.But a foolish woman destroys hers by what she does.

2. People who live good lives show respect for the Lord.But those who live evil lives show no respect for him.

3. A foolish person will be punished for his proud words.But a wise person’s words will protect him.

4. When there are no oxen, there is no food in the barn.But with the strength of an ox, much grain can be grown.

5. A truthful witness does not lie.But a false witness tells nothing but lies.

6. Those who make fun of wisdom look for it but do not find it.But the person with understanding easily finds knowledge.

7. Stay away from a foolish person.You won’t learn anything from him.

8. What makes a person wise is understanding what to do.But what makes a person foolish is dishonesty.

9. Foolish people don’t care if they sin.But honest people work at being right with others.
