Proverbs 14:1-27 - ESV - The wisest of women builds her house, but folly...

1 ¹The wisest of women ²builds her house, but folly with her own hands ³tears it down.

2 Whoever ⁴walks in uprightness fears the LORD, but he who is ⁵devious in his ways despises him.

3 By the mouth of a fool comes ⁶a rod for his back,^a ⁷but the lips of the wise will preserve them.

4 Where there are no oxen, the manger is clean, but abundant crops come by the strength of the ox.

5 ⁸A faithful witness does not lie, but ⁹a false witness breathes out lies.

6 ¹⁰A scoffer seeks wisdom ¹¹in vain, but ¹²knowledge is easy for a man of understanding.

7 Leave the presence of a fool, for there you do not meet words of knowledge.

8 The wisdom of the prudent is to discern his way, but the folly of fools is deceiving.

9 ¹³Fools mock at the guilt offering, but the upright enjoy acceptance.^b

10 The heart knows its own ¹⁴bitterness, and no stranger shares its joy.

11 ¹⁵The house of the wicked will be destroyed, but the tent of the upright will flourish.

12 ¹⁶There is a way that seems right to a man, but ¹⁷its end is the way to death.^c

13 Even in laughter the heart may ache, and ¹⁸the end of joy may be ¹⁹grief.

14 The backslider in heart will be ²⁰filled with the fruit of his ways, and ²¹a good man will be filled with the fruit of his ways.

15 ²²The simple believes everything, but the prudent gives thought to his steps.

16 ²³One who is wise is cautious^d and ²⁴turns away from evil, but a fool is reckless and careless.

17 A man of ²⁵quick temper acts foolishly, and a man of evil devices is hated.

18 The simple inherit folly, but the prudent are crowned with knowledge.

19 ²⁶The evil bow down before the good, the wicked at the gates of the righteous.

20 ²⁷The poor is disliked even by his neighbor, ²⁸but the rich has many friends.

21 Whoever ²⁹despises his neighbor is a sinner, but ³⁰blessed is he who is generous to the poor.

22 Do they not go astray who ³¹devise evil? Those who devise good meet^e³²steadfast love and faithfulness.

23 In all toil there is profit, but mere talk ³³tends only to poverty.

24 The crown of the wise is their wealth, but the folly of fools brings folly.

25 A truthful witness saves lives, but one who ³⁴breathes out lies is deceitful.

26 In the fear of the LORD one has ³⁵strong confidence, and ³⁶his children will have ³⁷a refuge.

27 The fear of the LORD is ³⁸a fountain of life, that one may ³⁹turn away from the snares of death.
