1 Wisdom builds her house,but Folly tears hers down with her own hands.
2 Those who walk uprightly fear the Lord,but those who are devious in their ways spurn him.
3 In the mouth of the fool is a rod for pride,but the lips of the wise preserve them.
4 Where there are no oxen, the crib is clean;but abundant crops come through the strength of the bull.
5 A trustworthy witness does not lie,but one who spouts lies makes a lying witness.
6 The scoffer seeks wisdom in vain,but knowledge is easy for the intelligent.
