YLT - Proverbs - 14

14:1  Every wise woman hath builded her house, And the foolish with her hands breaketh it down.

14:2  Whoso is walking in his uprightness is fearing Jehovah, And the perverted in his ways is despising Him.

14:3  In the mouth of a fool is a rod of pride, And the lips of the wise preserve them.

14:4  Without oxen a stall is clean, And great is the increase by the power of the ox.

14:5  A faithful witness lieth not, And a false witness breatheth out lies.

14:6  A scorner hath sought wisdom, and it is not, And knowledge to the intelligent is easy.

14:7  Go from before a foolish man, Or thou hast not known the lips of knowledge.

14:8  The wisdom of the prudent is to understand his way, And the folly of fools is deceit.

14:9  Fools mock at a guilt-offering, And among the upright--a pleasing thing.

14:10  The heart knoweth its own bitterness, And with its joy a stranger doth not intermeddle.

14:11  The house of the wicked is destroyed, And the tent of the upright flourisheth.

14:12  There is a way--right before a man, And its latter end are ways of death.

14:13  Even in laughter is the heart pained, And the latter end of joy is affliction.

14:14  From his ways is the backslider in heart filled, And a good man--from his fruits.

14:15  The simple giveth credence to everything, And the prudent attendeth to his step.

14:16  The wise is fearing and turning from evil, And a fool is transgressing and is confident.

14:17  Whoso is short of temper doth folly, And a man of wicked devices is hated.

14:18  The simple have inherited folly, And the prudent are crowned with knowledge.

14:19  The evil have bowed down before the good, And the wicked at the gates of the righteous.

14:20  Even of his neighbour is the poor hated, And those loving the rich are many.

14:21  Whoso is despising his neighbour sinneth, Whoso is favouring the humble, O his happiness.

14:22  Do not they err who are devising evil? And kindness and truth are to those devising good,

14:23  In all labour there is advantage, And a thing of the lips is only to want.

14:24  The crown of the wise is their wealth, The folly of fools is folly.

14:25  A true witness is delivering souls, And a deceitful one breatheth out lies.

14:26  In the fear of Jehovah is strong confidence, And to His sons there is a refuge.

14:27  The fear of Jehovah is a fountain of life, To turn aside from snares of death.

14:28  In the multitude of a people is the honour of a king, And in lack of people the ruin of a prince.

14:29  Whoso is slow to anger is of great understanding, And whoso is short in temper is exalting folly.

14:30  A healed heart is life to the flesh, And rottenness to the bones is envy.

14:31  An oppressor of the poor reproacheth his Maker, And whoso is honouring Him Is favouring the needy.

14:32  In his wickedness is the wicked driven away, And trustful in his death is the righteous.

14:33  In the heart of the intelligent wisdom doth rest. And in the midst of fools it is known.

14:34  Righteousness exalteth a nation, And the goodliness of peoples is a sin-offering.

14:35  The favour of a king is to a wise servant, And an object of his wrath is one causing shame!
