engKJVCPB: Proverbs 14

=> Chapters

[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.
