Proverbs 14:1-8, GNB
[1]Homes are made by the wisdom of women, but are destroyed by foolishness.
[2]Be honest and you show that you have reverence for the Lord; be dishonest and you show that you do not.
[3]Proud fools talk too much; the words of the wise protect them.
[4]Without any oxen to pull the plough your barn will be empty, but with them it will be full of corn.
[5]A reliable witness always tells the truth, but an unreliable one tells nothing but lies.
[6]Conceited people can never become wise, but intelligent people learn easily.
[7]Stay away from foolish people; they have nothing to teach you.
[8]Why is a clever person wise? Because he knows what to do. Why is a stupid person foolish? Because he only thinks he knows.
