Every Wise Woman Buildeth Her House — Proverbs 13:23–14:5

Much food is in the tillage of the poor; But there is that is destroyed by reason of injustice.

He that spareth his rod hateth his son; But he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes.

The righteous eateth to the satisfying of his soul; But the belly of the wicked shall want.

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

He that walketh in his uprightness feareth Jehovah; But he that is perverse in his ways despiseth him.

In the mouth of the foolish is a rod for his 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.

A faithful witness will not lie; But a false witness uttereth lies.
