Proverbs 14:3-5

New International Reader's Version

³ The proud words of a foolish person sting like a whip.
    But the things wise people say keep them safe.

⁴ Where there are no oxen, the feed box is empty.
    But a strong ox brings in huge harvests.

⁵ An honest witness does not lie.
    But a dishonest witness pours out lies.
