1 Every wise woman builds her house,but the foolish one tears it down with her own hands.
2 He who walks in his uprightness fears the Lord,but he who is perverse in his ways despises him.
3 The fool’s talk brings a rod to his back,but the lips of the wise protect them.
4 Where no oxen are, the crib is clean,but much increase is by the strength of the ox.
5 A truthful witness will not lie,but a false witness pours out lies.
6 A scoffer seeks wisdom, and doesn’t find it,but knowledge comes easily to a discerning person.
7 Stay away from a foolish man,for you won’t find knowledge on his lips.
