| Proverbs 14: (YLT) |
| 1) Every wise woman hath builded her house, And the foolish with her hands breaketh it down. |
| 2) Whoso is walking in his uprightness is fearing Jehovah, And the perverted [in] his ways is despising Him. |
| 3) In the mouth of a fool [is] a rod of pride, And the lips of the wise preserve them. |
| 4) Without oxen a stall [is] clean, And great [is] the increase by the power of the ox. |
| 5) A faithful witness lieth not, And a false witness breatheth out lies. |
| 6) A scorner hath sought wisdom, and it is not, And knowledge to the intelligent [is] easy. |
| 7) Go from before a foolish man, Or thou hast not known the lips of knowledge. |
| 8) The wisdom of the prudent [is] to understand his way, And the folly of fools [is] deceit. |
| 9) Fools mock at a guilt-offering, And among the upright -- a pleasing thing. |
| 10) The heart knoweth its own bitterness, And with its joy a stranger doth not intermeddle. |
| 11) The house of the wicked is destroyed, And the tent of the upright flourisheth. |
| 12) There is a way -- right before a man, And its latter end [are] ways of death. |
| 13) Even in laughter is the heart pained, And the latter end of joy [is] affliction. |
| 14) From his ways is the backslider in heart filled, And a good man -- from his fruits. |
| 15) The simple giveth credence to everything, And the prudent attendeth to his step. |
| 16) The wise is fearing and turning from evil, And a fool is transgressing and is confident. |
| 17) Whoso is short of temper doth folly, And a man of wicked devices is hated. |
| 18) The simple have inherited folly, And the prudent are crowned [with] knowledge. |
| 19) The evil have bowed down before the good, And the wicked at the gates of the righteous. |
| 20) Even of his neighbour is the poor hated, And those loving the rich [are] many. |
| 21) Whoso is despising his neighbour sinneth, Whoso is favouring the humble, O his happiness. |
| 22) Do not they err who are devising evil? And kindness and truth [are] to those devising good, |
| 23) In all labour there is advantage, And a thing of the lips [is] only to want. |
| 24) The crown of the wise is their wealth, The folly of fools [is] folly. |
| 25) A true witness is delivering souls, And a deceitful one breatheth out lies. |
| 26) In the fear of Jehovah [is] strong confidence, And to His sons there is a refuge. |
| 27) The fear of Jehovah [is] a fountain of life, To turn aside from snares of death. |
| 28) In the multitude of a people [is] the honour of a king, And in lack of people the ruin of a prince. |
| 29) Whoso is slow to anger [is] of great understanding, And whoso is short in temper is exalting folly. |
| 30) A healed heart [is] life to the flesh, And rottenness to the bones [is] envy. |
| 31) An oppressor of the poor reproacheth his Maker, And whoso is honouring Him Is favouring the needy. |
| 32) In his wickedness is the wicked driven away, And trustful in his death [is] the righteous. |
| 33) In the heart of the intelligent wisdom doth rest. And in the midst of fools it is known. |
| 34) Righteousness exalteth a nation, And the goodliness of peoples [is] a sin-offering. |
| 35) The favour of a king [is] to a wise servant, And an object of his wrath is one causing shame! |
