Proverbs 14:3-8 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

3. In the mouth of a fool is a rod of pride, But the lips of the wise guard them.

4. Where there are no oxen, the crib is clean; But from the strength of an ox comes much increase.

5. A trustworthy witness does not lie, But a false witness breathes out lies.

6. A scoffer shall seek wisdom but find none, But knowledge is swift to him who has understanding.

7. Leave the presence of a foolish man, For you shall not perceive the lips of knowledge.

8. The wisdom of the clever is to understand His way, But the folly of fools is deceit.
