Proverbs 14:2-4

New American Standard Bible 1995

² He who ^(A)walks in his uprightness fears the Lord,
But he who is ^(B)devious in his ways despises Him.
³ In the mouth of the foolish is a rod ^[a]for his back,
But ^(C)the lips of the wise will protect them.
⁴ Where no oxen are, the manger is clean,
But much revenue comes by the strength of the ox.
