Proverbs 14:1-3
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised
14 The wise woman[a] builds her house,
but the foolish tears it down with her own hands.
2 Those who walk uprightly fear the Lord,
but one who is devious in conduct despises him.
3 The talk of fools is a rod for their backs,[b]
but the lips of the wise preserve them.
