1 Every wise woman builds her house,but the foolish pulls it down with her hands.
2 He who walks in his uprightness fears the Lord,but he who 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 will preserve them.
4 Where no oxen are, the crib is clean;but much increase is by the strength of the ox.
5 A faithful witness will not lie,but a false witness will utter lies.
6 A scorner seeks wisdom and does not find it,but knowledge is easy to him who understands.
