Proverbs 14:2 Proverbs 14:3 (KJV) Proverbs 14:4
He that walketh in his uprightness feareth the LORD: but [he that is] perverse in his ways despiseth him.
In the mouth of the foolish [is] a rod of pride: but the lips of the wise shall preserve them.
Where no oxen [are], the crib [is] clean: but much increase [is] by the strength of the ox.
