Proverbs 14:1-3

New Living Translation

14 A wise woman builds her home,
but a foolish woman tears it down with her own hands.

²Those who follow the right path fear the Lord;
those who take the wrong path despise him.

³A fool’s proud talk becomes a rod that beats him,
but the words of the wise keep them safe.

Proverbs 14:1-3

New International Version

14 The wise woman builds her house,^(A)
but with her own hands the foolish one tears hers down.

²Whoever fears the Lord walks uprightly,
but those who despise him are devious in their ways.

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