1 Every wise woman has built her house, But the foolish breaks it down with her hands.
2 He who walks in his straightness fears יהוה, But he whose ways are crooked despises Him.
3 In the mouth of a fool is a rod of pride, But the lips of the wise guard them.
4 Where there are no oxen, the crib is clean; But from the strength of an ox comes much increase.
5 A trustworthy witness does not lie, But a false witness breathes out lies.
6 A scoffer shall seek wisdom but find none, But knowledge is swift to him who has understanding.
7 Leave the presence of a foolish man, For you shall not perceive the lips of knowledge.
