Proverbs 14:3-5

Wycliffe Bible

³The rod of pride is in the mouth of a fool; the lips of wise men keep them (but the lips of the wise keep them safe).

⁴Where oxen be not, the cratch is void (the stall is empty); but where full many corns appear, there the strength of the ox is [made] open.

⁵A faithful witness shall not lie; a guileful witness bringeth forth a leasing (a deceitful witness bringeth forth many lies).

Proverbs 14:3-5

New International Version

³A fool’s mouth lashes out with pride,^(A)
but the lips of the wise protect them.^(B)

⁴Where there are no oxen, the manger is empty,
but from the strength of an ox^(C) come abundant harvests.

⁵An honest witness does not deceive,
but a false witness pours out lies.^(D)
