Proverbs - ch 14 v 1 - 20

  1. Every wise woman buildeth her house; But the foolish plucketh it down with her own hands.

  15. The simple believeth every word; But the prudent man looketh well to his going.
  16. A wise man feareth, and departeth from evil; But the fool beareth himself insolently, and is confident.
  17. He that is soon angry will deal foolishly; And a man of wicked devices is hated.
  18. The simple inherit folly; But the prudent are crowned with knowledge.
  19. The evil bow down before the good; And the wicked, at the gates of the righteous.
  20. The poor is hated even of his own neighbor; But the rich hath many friends.
