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.
4 Where no oxen
are, the
1 trough
is clean;
But much increase
comes by the strength of an ox.
5 A
afaithful witness does not lie,
But a false witness will utter
blies.
