Proverbs 14 KJV
Proverbs 14 KJV
¶
1
Every
wise
woman
buildeth
her
house:
but
the
foolish
plucketh
it
down
with
her
hands.
¶
2
He
that
walketh
in
his
uprightness
feareth
the
LORD:
but
he
that
is
perverse
in
his
ways
despiseth
him.
¶
3
In
the
mouth
of
the
foolish
is
a
rod
of
pride:
but
the
lips
of
the
wise
shall
preserve
them.
¶
4
Where
no
oxen
are,
the
crib
is
clean:
but
much
increase
is
by
the
strength
of
the
ox.
¶
5
A
faithful
witness
will
not
lie:
but
a
false
witness
will
utter
lies.
¶
6
A
scorner
seeketh
wisdom,
and
findeth
it
not:
but
knowledge
is
easy
unto
him
that
understandeth.
¶
7
Go
from
the
presence
of
a
foolish
man,
when
thou
perceivest
not
in
him
the
lips
of
knowledge.
¶
8
The
wisdom
of
the
prudent
is
to
understand
his
way:
but
the
folly
of
fools
is
deceit.
¶
9
Fools
make
a
mock
at
sin:
but
among
the
righteous
there
is
favour.
¶
10
The
heart
knoweth
his
own
bitterness;
and
a
stranger
doth
not
intermeddle
with
his
joy.
¶
11
The
house
of
the
wicked
shall
be
overthrown:
but
the
tabernacle
of
the
upright
shall
flourish.
¶
12
There
is
a
way
which
seemeth
right
unto
a
man,
but
the
end
thereof
are
the
ways
of
death.
¶
13
Even
in
laughter
the
heart
is
sorrowful;
and
the
end
of
that
mirth
is
heaviness.
¶
14
The
backslider
in
heart
shall
be
filled
with
his
own
ways:
and
a
good
man
shall
be
satisfied
from
himself.
¶
15
The
simple
believeth
every
word:
but
the
prudent
man
looketh
well
to
his
going.
¶
16
A
wise
man
feareth,
and
departeth
from
evil:
but
the
fool
rageth,
and
is
confident.
¶
17
He
that
is
soon
angry
dealeth
foolishly:
and
a
man
of
wicked
devices
is
hated.
¶
18
The
simple
inherit
folly:
but
the
prudent
are
crowned
with
knowledge.
¶
19
The
evil
bow
before
the
good;
and
the
wicked
at
the
gates
of
the
righteous.
¶
20
The
poor
is
hated
even
of
his
own
neighbour:
but
the
rich
hath
many
friends.
¶
21
He
that
despiseth
his
neighbour
sinneth:
but
he
that
hath
mercy
on
the
poor,
happy
is
he.
¶
22
Do
they
not
err
that
devise
evil?
but
mercy
and
truth
shall
be
to
them
that
devise
good.
¶
23
In
all
labour
there
is
profit:
but
the
talk
of
the
lips
tendeth
only
to
penury.
¶
24
The
crown
of
the
wise
is
their
riches:
but
the
foolishness
of
fools
is
folly.
¶
25
A
true
witness
delivereth
souls:
but
a
deceitful
witness
speaketh
lies.
¶
26
In
the
fear
of
the
LORD
is
strong
confidence:
and
his
children
shall
have
a
place
of
refuge.
27
The
fear
of
the
LORD
is
a
fountain
of
life,
to
depart
from
the
snares
of
death.
¶
28
In
the
multitude
of
people
is
the
king's
honour:
but
in
the
want
of
people
is
the
destruction
of
the
prince.
¶
29
He
that
is
slow
to
wrath
is
of
great
understanding:
but
he
that
is
hasty
of
spirit
exalteth
folly.
¶
30
A
sound
heart
is
the
life
of
the
flesh:
but
envy
the
rottenness
of
the
bones.
¶
31
He
that
oppresseth
the
poor
reproacheth
his
Maker:
but
he
that
honoureth
him
hath
mercy
on
the
poor.
¶
32
The
wicked
is
driven
away
in
his
wickedness:
but
the
righteous
hath
hope
in
his
death.
¶
33
Wisdom
resteth
in
the
heart
of
him
that
hath
understanding:
but
that
which
is
in
the
midst
of
fools
is
made
known.
¶
34
Righteousness
exalteth
a
nation:
but
sin
is
a
reproach
to
any
people.
¶
35
The
king's
favour
is
toward
a
wise
servant:
but
his
wrath
is
against
him
that
causeth
shame.
