Proverbs 14:3-5

Lexham English Bible

³In the mouth of a fool is the rod of pride,
    but the lips of the wise preserve them.
⁴When there are no^[a] oxen the manger is empty,
    but an abundance of crops comes by the strength of an ox.^[b]
⁵A faithful witness does not lie,
    but he who breathes out falsehood is a witness of deceit.
