Proverbs 14:1-3

Living Bible

14 A wise woman builds her house, while a foolish woman tears hers down by her own efforts.

²To do right honors God; to sin is to despise him.

³A rebel’s foolish talk should prick his own pride! But the wise man’s speech is respected.

but those who despise him are devious in their ways.

but the lips of the wise protect them.^(C)
