✧1Every wise woman builds her house, but a foolish one tears it down with her own hands. Copy✧2He who walks in uprightness fears the LORD, but the one who is devious in his ways despises Him. Copy✧3The proud speech of a fool brings a rod to his back, but the lips of the wise protect them. Copy✧4Where there are no oxen, the manger is empty, but an abundant harvest comes through the strength of the ox. Copy✧5An honest witness does not deceive, but a dishonest witness pours forth lies. Copy✧6A mocker seeks wisdom and finds none, but knowledge comes easily to the discerning. Copy✧7Stay away from a foolish man; you will gain no knowledge from his speech. Copy✧8The wisdom of the prudent is to discern his way, but the folly of fools deceives them. Copy
