Proverbs 14:3-5
Contemporary English Version

3 Proud fools are punished
    for their stupid talk,
but sensible talk
    can save your life.
4 Without the help of an ox
    there can be no crop,
but with a strong ox
    a big crop is possible.
5 An honest witness
    tells the truth;
a dishonest witness
    tells nothing but lies.
