1 The wise woman builds her house,
But the foolish pulls it down with her hands.

2 He who walks in his uprightness fears the Lord,
^aBut he who is perverse in his ways despises Him.

3 In the mouth of a fool is a rod of pride,
^aBut the lips of the wise will preserve them.

But much increase comes by the strength of an ox.
