1 Every wise woman builds her house, but the foolish plucks it down with her hands.
2 He that walks in his uprightness fears the Lord, but he that is perverse in his ways despises him.
3 In the mouth of the foolish is a rod of pride, but the lips of the wise shall preserve them.
4 Without oxen, the storehouse is clean, but by the strength of the ox there is abundance of bread.
