1 A wise woman builds her house, but a foolish one tears it down with her own hands.
2 The one who walks uprightly fears Adonai, but one devious in his ways despises Him.
3 In the mouth of a fool is a rod for his back, but the lips of the wise protect them.
4 Where there are no oxen, the stalls are clean, but from the strength of the ox comes an abundant harvest.
