Proverbs 14:1-31

14:1

Every wise
<02454>

woman
<0802>

buildeth
<01129> (8804)

her house
<01004>_:

but the foolish
<0200>

plucketh it down
<02040> (8799)

with her hands
<03027>_.

14:2

He that walketh
<01980> (8802)

in his uprightness
<03476>

feareth
<03373>

the LORD
<03068>_:

but [he that is] perverse
<03868> (8737)

in his ways
<01870>

despiseth
<0959> (8802)

him.

14:3

In the mouth
<06310>

of the foolish
<0191>

[is] a rod
<02415>

of pride
<01346>_:

but the lips
<08193>

of the wise
<02450>

shall preserve
<08104> (8799)

them.

14:4

Where no oxen
<0504>

[are], the crib
<018>

[is] clean
<01249>_:

but much
<07230>

increase
<08393>

[is] by the strength
<03581>

of the ox
<07794>_.

14:5

A faithful
<0529>

witness
<05707>

will not lie
<03577>_:

but a false
<08267>

witness
<05707>

will utter
<06315> (8686)

lies
<03576> (8762)_.

14:6

A scorner
<03887> (8801)

seeketh
<01245> (8765)

wisdom
<02451>_,

and [findeth it] not: but knowledge
<01847>

[is] easy
<07043> (8738)

unto him that understandeth
<0995> (8737)_.

14:7

Go
<03212> (8798)

from the presence
<05048>

of a foolish
<03684>

man
<0376>_,

when thou perceivest
<03045> (8804)

not [in him] the lips
<08193>

of knowledge
<01847>_.

14:8

The wisdom
<02451>

of the prudent
<06175>

[is] to understand
<0995> (8687)

his way
<01870>_:

but the folly
<0200>

of fools
<03684>

[is] deceit
<04820>_.

14:9

Fools
<0191>

make a mock
<03887> (8686)

at sin
<0817>_:

but among the righteous
<03477>

[there is] favour
<07522>_.

14:10

The heart
<03820>

knoweth
<03045> (8802)

his own
<05315>

bitterness
<04787>_;

and a stranger
<02114> (8801)

doth not intermeddle
<06148> (8691)

with his joy
<08057>_.

{his own...: Heb. the bitterness of his soul}

14:11

The house
<01004>

of the wicked
<07563>

shall be overthrown
<08045> (8735)_:

but the tabernacle
<0168>

of the upright
<03477>

shall flourish
<06524> (8686)_.

14:12

There is
<03426>

a way
<01870>

which seemeth right
<03477>

unto
<06440>

a man
<0376>_,

but the end
<0319>

thereof [are] the ways
<01870>

of death
<04194>_.

14:13

Even in laughter
<07814>

the heart
<03820>

is sorrowful
<03510> (8799)_;

and the end
<0319>

of that mirth
<08057>

[is] heaviness
<08424>_.

14:14

The backslider
<05472> (8803)

in heart
<03820>

shall be filled
<07646> (8799)

with his own ways
<01870>_:

and a good
<02896>

man
<0376>

[shall be satisfied] from himself.

14:15

The simple
<06612>

believeth
<0539> (8686)

every word
<01697>_:

but the prudent
<06175>

[man] looketh well
<0995> (8799)

to his going
<0838>_.

14:16

A wise
<02450>

[man] feareth
<03373>_,

and departeth
<05493> (8802)

from evil
<07451>_:

but the fool
<03684>

rageth
<05674> (8693)_,

and is confident
<0982> (8802)_.

14:17

[He that is] soon
<07116>

angry
<0639>

dealeth
<06213> (8799)

foolishly
<0200>_:

and a man
<0376>

of wicked devices
<04209>

is hated
<08130> (8735)_.

14:18

The simple
<06612>

inherit
<05157> (8804)

folly
<0200>_:

but the prudent
<06175>

are crowned
<03803> (8686)

with knowledge
<01847>_.

14:19

The evil
<07451>

bow
<07817> (8804)

before
<06440>

the good
<02896>_;

and the wicked
<07563>

at the gates
<08179>

of the righteous
<06662>_.

14:20

The poor
<07326> (8802)

is hated
<08130> (8735)

even of his own neighbour
<07453>_:

but the rich
<06223>

[hath] many
<07227>

friends
<0157> (8802)_.

{the rich...: Heb. many are the lovers of the rich}

14:21

He that despiseth
<0936> (8802)

his neighbour
<07453>

sinneth
<02398> (8802)_:

but he that hath mercy
<02603> (8781)

on the poor
<06035> (8675) <06041>_,

happy
<0835>

[is] he.

14:22

Do they not err
<08582> (8799)

that devise
<02790> (8802)

evil
<07451>_?

but mercy
<02617>

and truth
<0571>

[shall be] to them that devise
<02790> (8802)

good
<02896>_.

14:23

In all labour
<06089>

there is profit
<04195>_:

but the talk
<01697>

of the lips
<08193>

[tendeth] only to penury
<04270>_.

14:24

The crown
<05850>

of the wise
<02450>

[is] their riches
<06239>_:

[but] the foolishness
<0200>

of fools
<03684>

[is] folly
<0200>_.

14:25

A true
<0571>

witness
<05707>

delivereth
<05337> (8688)

souls
<05315>_:

but a deceitful
<04820>

[witness] speaketh
<06315> (8686)

lies
<03577>_.

14:26

In the fear
<03374>

of the LORD
<03068>

[is] strong
<05797>

confidence
<04009>_:

and his children
<01121>

shall have a place of refuge
<04268>_.

14:27

The fear
<03374>

of the LORD
<03068>

[is] a fountain
<04726>

of life
<02416>_,

to depart
<05493> (8800)

from the snares
<04170>

of death
<04194>_.

14:28

In the multitude
<07230>

of people
<05971>

[is] the king's
<04428>

honour
<01927>_:

but in the want
<0657>

of people
<03816>

[is] the destruction
<04288>

of the prince
<07333>_.

14:29

[He that is] slow
<0750>

to wrath
<0639>

[is] of great
<07227>

understanding
<08394>_:

but [he that is] hasty
<07116>

of spirit
<07307>

exalteth
<07311> (8688)

folly
<0200>_.

{hasty...: Heb. short of spirit}

14:30

A sound
<04832>

heart
<03820>

[is] the life
<02416>

of the flesh
<01320>_:

but envy
<07068>

the rottenness
<07538>

of the bones
<06106>_.

14:31

He that oppresseth
<06231> (8802)

the poor
<01800>

reproacheth
<02778> (8765)

his Maker
<06213> (8802)_:

but he that honoureth
<03513> (8764)

him hath mercy
<02603> (8802)

on the poor
<034>_.
