Proverbs 14 (New International Version)

Proverbs 14

1 The wise woman builds her
house,
but with her own hands the
foolish one tears hers down.

2 He whose walk is upright
fears the LORD,
but he whose ways are
devious despises him.

3 A fool's talk brings a rod
to his back,
but the lips of the wise
protect them.

4 Where there are no oxen,
the manger is empty,
but from the
strength of an ox comes an abundant harvest.

5 A truthful witness does not
deceive,
but a false witness pours out
lies.

6 The mocker seeks wisdom and
finds none,
but knowledge comes easily
to the discerning.

7 Stay away from a foolish
man,
for you will not find knowledge on
his lips.

8 The wisdom of the prudent
is to give thought to their ways,
but
the folly of fools is deception.

9 Fools mock at making amends
for sin,
but goodwill is found among
the upright.

10 Each heart knows its own
bitterness,
and no one else can share
its joy.

11 The house of the wicked
will be destroyed,
but the tent of the
upright will flourish.

12 There is a way that seems
right to a man,
but in the end it leads
to death.

13 Even in laughter the heart
may ache,
and joy may end in grief.

14 The faithless will be
fully repaid for their ways,
and the
good man rewarded for his.

15 A simple man believes
anything,
but a prudent man gives
thought to his steps.

16 A wise man fears the LORD
and shuns evil,
but a fool is hotheaded
and reckless.

17 A quick-tempered man does
foolish things,
and a crafty man is
hated.

18 The simple inherit folly,

but the prudent are crowned with
knowledge.

19 Evil men will bow down in
the presence of the good,
and the
wicked at the gates of the righteous.

20 The poor are shunned even
by their neighbors,
but the rich have
many friends.

21 He who despises his
neighbor sins,
but blessed is he who is
kind to the needy.

22 Do not those who plot evil
go astray?
But those who plan what is
good find love and
faithfulness.

23 All hard work brings a
profit,
but mere talk leads only to
poverty.

24 The wealth of the wise is
their crown,
but the folly of fools
yields folly.

25 A truthful witness saves
lives,
but a false witness is
deceitful.

26 He who fears the LORD has
a secure fortress,
and for his children
it will be a refuge.

27 The fear of the LORD is a
fountain of life,
turning a man from
the snares of death.

28 A large population is a
king's glory,
but without subjects a
prince is ruined.

29 A patient man has great
understanding,
but a quick-tempered man
displays folly.

30 A heart at peace gives
life to the body,
but envy rots the
bones.

31 He who oppresses the poor
shows contempt for their Maker,
but
whoever is kind to the needy honors God.

32 When calamity comes, the
wicked are brought down,
but even in
death the righteous have a refuge.

33 Wisdom reposes in the
heart of the discerning
and even among
fools she lets herself be known.

34 Righteousness exalts a
nation,
but sin is a disgrace to any
people.

35 A king delights in a wise
servant,
but a shameful servant incurs
his wrath.
