1 Every wise woman builds her house, But the foolish one tears it down with her own hands.
2 He who walks in his uprightness fears Yahweh, But he who is perverse in his ways despises him.
3 The fool`s talk brings a rod to his back, But the lips of the wise protect them.
4 Where no oxen are, the crib is clean, But much increase is by the strength of the ox.
5 A truthful witness will not lie, But a false witness pours out lies.
6 A scoffer seeks wisdom, and doesn`t find it, But knowledge comes easily to a discerning person.
7 Stay away from a foolish man, For you won`t find knowledge on his lips.
