Proverbs 14 (kjv)

Every wise^H2454 woman^H802 buildeth^H1129 her house^H1004: but the foolish^H200 plucketh it down^H2040 with her hands^H3027.²He that walketh^H1980 in his uprightness^H3476 feareth^H3373 the LORD^H3068: but he that is perverse^H3868 in his ways^H1870 despiseth^H959 him.³In the mouth^H6310 of the foolish^H191 is a rod^H2415 of pride^H1346: but the lips^H8193 of the wise^H2450 shall preserve^H8104 them.⁴Where no oxen^H504 are, the crib^H18 is clean^H1249: but much^H7230 increase^H8393 is by the strength^H3581 of the ox^H7794.⁵A faithful^H529 witness^H5707 will not lie^H3577: but a false^H8267 witness^H5707 will utter^H6315 lies^H3576.⁶A scorner^H3887 seeketh^H1245 wisdom^H2451, and findeth it not: but knowledge^H1847 is easy^H7043 unto him that understandeth^H995.⁷Go^H3212 from the presence^H5048 of a foolish^H3684 man^H376, when thou perceivest^H3045 not in him the lips^H8193 of knowledge^H1847.⁸The wisdom^H2451 of the prudent^H6175 is to understand^H995 his way^H1870: but the folly^H200 of fools^H3684 is deceit^H4820.⁹Fools^H191 make a mock^H3887 at sin^H817: but among the righteous^H3477 there is favour^H7522.¹⁰The heart^H3820 knoweth^H3045 his own^H5315 bitterness^H4787; and a stranger^H2114 doth not intermeddle^H6148 with his joy^H8057.¹¹The house^H1004 of the wicked^H7563 shall be overthrown^H8045: but the tabernacle^H168 of the upright^H3477 shall flourish^H6524.¹²There is^H3426 a way^H1870 which seemeth right^H3477 unto^H6440 a man^H376, but the end^H319 thereof are the ways^H1870 of death^H4194.¹³Even in laughter^H7814 the heart^H3820 is sorrowful^H3510; and the end^H319 of that mirth^H8057 is heaviness^H8424.¹⁴The backslider^H5472 in heart^H3820 shall be filled^H7646 with his own ways^H1870: and a good^H2896 man^H376 shall be satisfied from himself.¹⁵The simple^H6612 believeth^H539 every word^H1697: but the prudent^H6175 man looketh well^H995 to his going^H838.¹⁶A wise^H2450 man feareth^H3373, and departeth^H5493 from evil^H7451: but the fool^H3684 rageth^H5674, and is confident^H982.¹⁷He that is soon^H7116 angry^H639 dealeth^H6213 foolishly^H200: and a man^H376 of wicked devices^H4209 is hated^H8130.¹⁸The simple^H6612 inherit^H5157 folly^H200: but the prudent^H6175 are crowned^H3803 with knowledge^H1847.¹⁹The evil^H7451 bow^H7817 before^H6440 the good^H2896; and the wicked^H7563 at the gates^H8179 of the righteous^H6662.²⁰The poor^H7326 is hated^H8130 even of his own neighbour^H7453: but the rich^H6223 hath many^H7227 friends^H157.²¹He that despiseth^H936 his neighbour^H7453 sinneth^H2398: but he that hath mercy^H2603 on the poor^{H6035 H6041}, happy^H835 is he.²²Do they not err^H8582 that devise^H2790 evil^H7451? but mercy^H2617 and truth^H571 shall be to them that devise^H2790 good^H2896.²³In all labour^H6089 there is profit^H4195: but the talk^H1697 of the lips^H8193 tendeth only to penury^H4270.²⁴The crown^H5850 of the wise^H2450 is their riches^H6239: but the foolishness^H200 of fools^H3684 is folly^H200.²⁵A true^H571 witness^H5707 delivereth^H5337 souls^H5315: but a deceitful^H4820 witness speaketh^H6315 lies^H3577.²⁶In the fear^H3374 of the LORD^H3068 is strong^H5797 confidence^H4009: and his children^H1121 shall have a place of refuge^H4268.²⁷The fear^H3374 of the LORD^H3068 is a fountain^H4726 of life^H2416, to depart^H5493 from the snares^H4170 of death^H4194.²⁸In the multitude^H7230 of people^H5971 is the king's^H4428 honour^H1927: but in the want^H657 of people^H3816 is the destruction^H4288 of the prince^H7333.²⁹He that is slow^H750 to wrath^H639 is of great^H7227 understanding^H8394: but he that is hasty^H7116 of spirit^H7307 exalteth^H7311 folly^H200.³⁰A sound^H4832 heart^H3820 is the life^H2416 of the flesh^H1320: but envy^H7068 the rottenness^H7538 of the bones^H6106.³¹He that oppresseth^H6231 the poor^H1800 reproacheth^H2778 his Maker^H6213: but he that honoureth^H3513 him hath mercy^H2603 on the poor^H34.³²The wicked^H7563 is driven away^H1760 in his wickedness^H7451: but the righteous^H6662 hath hope^H2620 in his death^H4194.³³Wisdom^H2451 resteth^H5117 in the heart^H3820 of him that hath understanding^H995: but that which is in the midst^H7130 of fools^H3684 is made known^H3045.³⁴Righteousness^H6666 exalteth^H7311 a nation^H1471: but sin^H2403 is a reproach^H2617 to any people^H3816.³⁵The king's^H4428 favour^H7522 is toward a wise^H7919 servant^H5650: but his wrath^H5678 is against him that causeth shame^H954.
