Proverbs_Chapter 14

A wise woman builds a family. Foolish women, with their own hands demolish.

Those who walk upright fear the Lord. He who behaves awkwardly despises him.

Pride among the foolish is like a staff beating oneself. The mouth of a wise man will keep himself safe.

An honest witness who does not lie. Fake witness, spitting out lies.

A mocker seeks wisdom, but cannot find it. Smart people easily acquire knowledge.

In front of the foolish, there is no knowledge in his mouth.

The wisdom of a wise person lies in understanding their own way. The foolishness of a foolish person is deceit. (Or self deception)

The house of the wicked shall fall. The tent of the upright shall prosper.

A passerby thought it was right. To the end, it becomes the path of death.

In the midst of laughter, one’s heart is also sorrowful. Extreme happiness brings about sorrow.

The wise are afraid, and they turn away from evil. Foolish people are arrogant and self reliant.

Those who are easily angered and act foolishly. Those who set up schemes are hated by others.

Foolish people inherit ignorance. Knowledge is the crown of the wise.

The bad man lies prostrate in front of the good. The wicked lie prostrate at the door of the righteous.

He who is not easily angered is very clever. A person with a hot temper shows great foolishness.

Quietness in the heart is the life of the body. Jealousy is decay in the bones.

Those who oppress the poor are those who insult their creator. Those who pity the poor are those who respect the Lord

The wicked will be pushed down in their evil deeds. A righteous person is on the brink of death, seeking refuge.

Wisdom exists in the hearts of wise people. What is in the hearts of fools is evident.

Justice elevates the nation. Evil is a shame to the people.

Wise courtiers, blessed by the king’s grace. A servant who causes shame is angered by him.
