Proverbs 14:3-5
New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

3 The talk of fools is a rod for their backs,[a]
    but the lips of the wise preserve them.
4 Where there are no oxen, there is no grain;
    abundant crops come by the strength of the ox.
5 A faithful witness does not lie,
    but a false witness breathes out lies.
