1Every wise woman builds her house, but the foolish one tears it down with her own hands.

2He who walks in his uprightness fears the LORD, but he who is perverse in his ways despises him.

3The fool’s talk brings a rod to his back, but the lips of the wise protect them.

4Where no oxen are, the crib is clean, but much increase is by the strength of the ox.

5A truthful witness will not lie, but a false witness pours out lies.
