Proverbs 14:1-4 American Standard Version (ASV)

1. Every wise woman buildeth her house; But the foolish plucketh it down with her own hands.

2. He that walketh in his uprightness feareth Jehovah; But he that is perverse in his ways despiseth him.

3. In the mouth of the foolish is a rod for his pride; But the lips of the wise shall preserve them.

4. Where no oxen are, the crib is clean; But much increase is by the strength of the ox.
