Proverbs 14

Take note of these:

Proverbs 14:1-11

King James Version

14 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.


Proverbs 14:12-19

King James Version

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.


Proverbs 14:20-21

King James Version

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.


Proverbs 14:22-25

King James Version

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.


Proverbs 14:26-27

King James Version

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.


Proverbs 14:28-35

King James Version

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.
