Proverbs 14:4

Every wise woman builds her house,

but the foolish one tears it down with her own hands.

He who walks in his uprightness fears the LORD,

but he who is perverse in his ways despises him.

The fool’s talk brings a rod to his back,

but the lips of the wise protect them.

A truthful witness will not lie,

but a false witness pours out lies.

A scoffer seeks wisdom, and doesn’t find it,

but knowledge comes easily to a discerning person.

Stay away from a foolish man,

for you won’t find knowledge on his lips.
