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.
5 The true witness will not lie, but the false witness will utter lies.
6 The scorner sought wisdom and found it not, but wisdom comes easy unto him that understands.
7 Go from the presence of the foolish man when thou dost not perceive in him the lips of knowledge.
