Proverbs 14:4-14
Where there are no oxen, the feed box is empty.
But a strong ox brings in huge harvests.
An honest witness does not lie.
But a dishonest witness pours out lies.
Those who make fun of others look for wisdom and don’t find it.
But knowledge comes easily to those who understand what is right.
Stay away from a foolish person.
You won’t find knowledge in what they say.
People are wise and understanding when they think about the way they live.
But people are foolish when their foolish ways trick them.
Foolish people laugh at making things right when they sin.
But honest people try to do the right thing.
Each heart knows its own sadness.
And no one else can share its joy.
The houses of sinners will be destroyed.
But the tents of honest people will stand firm.
There is a way that appears to be right.
But in the end it leads to death.
Even when you laugh, your heart can be hurting.
And your joy can end in sadness.
Those who aren’t faithful will be paid back
for what they’ve done.
And good people will receive rewards
for how they’ve lived.
