1 Every wise woman hath builded her house, And the foolish  with her hands breaketh it down.
         
                                
                        2 Whoso is walking in his uprightness is fearing Jehovah, And  the perverted [in] his ways is despising Him.
         
                                
                        3 In the mouth of a fool [is] a rod of pride, And the lips of  the wise preserve them.
         
                                
                        4 Without oxen a stall [is] clean, And great [is] the  increase by the power of the ox.
         
                                
                        5 A faithful witness lieth not, And a false witness breatheth  out lies.
         
                                
                        6 A scorner hath sought wisdom, and it is not, And knowledge  to the intelligent [is] easy.
         
                                
                        7 Go from before a foolish man, Or thou hast not known the  lips of knowledge.
