1. A wise woman builds her home,but a foolish woman tears it down with her own hands.

2. Those who follow the right path fear the lord;those who take the wrong path despise him.

3. A fool’s proud talk becomes a rod that beats him,but the words of the wise keep them safe.

4. Without oxen a stable stays clean,but you need a strong ox for a large harvest.

5. An honest witness does not lie;a false witness breathes lies.

6. A mocker seeks wisdom and never finds it,but knowledge comes easily to those with understanding.
