Pr 14 (King James)

¹ Every wise woman buildeth her house: but the foolish plucketh it down with her hands.
² He that walketh in his uprightness feareth the LORD: but he that is perverse in his ways despiseth him.
³ In the mouth of the foolish is a rod of pride: but the lips of the wise shall preserve them.
⁴ Where no oxen are, the crib is clean: but much increase is by the strength of the ox.
⁵ A faithful witness will not lie: but a false witness will utter lies.
⁶ A scorner seeketh wisdom, and findeth it not: but knowledge is easy unto him that understandeth.
⁷ Go from the presence of a foolish man, when thou perceivest not in him the lips of knowledge.
⁸ The wisdom of the prudent is to understand his way: but the folly of fools is deceit.
⁹ Fools make a mock at sin: but among the righteous there is favour.
¹⁰ The heart knoweth his own bitterness; and a stranger doth not intermeddle with his joy.
¹¹ The house of the wicked shall be overthrown: but the tabernacle of the upright shall flourish.
¹² There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.
¹³ Even in laughter the heart is sorrowful; and the end of that mirth is heaviness.
¹⁴ The backslider in heart shall be filled with his own ways: and a good man shall be satisfied from himself.
¹⁵ The simple believeth every word: but the prudent man looketh well to his going.
¹⁶ A wise man feareth, and departeth from evil: but the fool rageth, and is confident.
¹⁷ He that is soon angry dealeth foolishly: and a man of wicked devices is hated.
¹⁸ The simple inherit folly: but the prudent are crowned with knowledge.
¹⁹ The evil bow before the good; and the wicked at the gates of the righteous.
²⁰ The poor is hated even of his own neighbour: but the rich hath many friends.
²¹ He that despiseth his neighbour sinneth: but he that hath mercy on the poor, happy is he.
²² Do they not err that devise evil? but mercy and truth shall be to them that devise good.
²³ In all labour there is profit: but the talk of the lips tendeth only to penury.
²⁴ The crown of the wise is their riches: but the foolishness of fools is folly.
²⁵ A true witness delivereth souls: but a deceitful witness speaketh lies.
²⁶ In the fear of the LORD is strong confidence: and his children shall have a place of refuge.
²⁷ The fear of the LORD is a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death.
²⁸ In the multitude of people is the king's honour: but in the want of people is the destruction of the prince.
²⁹ He that is slow to wrath is of great understanding: but he that is hasty of spirit exalteth folly.
³⁰ A sound heart is the life of the flesh: but envy the rottenness of the bones.
³¹ He that oppresseth the poor reproacheth his Maker: but he that honoureth him hath mercy on the poor.
³² The wicked is driven away in his wickedness: but the righteous hath hope in his death.
³³ Wisdom resteth in the heart of him that hath understanding: but that which is in the midst of fools is made known.
³⁴ Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people.
³⁵ The king's favour is toward a wise servant: but his wrath is against him that causeth shame.

Pr 14 (Vulgate)

¹ [Sapiens mulier ædificat domum suam ; insipiens exstructam quoque manibus destruet.
² Ambulans recto itinere, et timens Deum, despicitur ab eo qui infami graditur via.
³ In ore stulti virga superbiæ ; labia autem sapientium custodiunt eos.
⁴ Ubi non sunt boves, præsepe vacuum est ; ubi autem plurimæ segetes, ibi manifesta est fortitudo bovis.
⁵ Testis fidelis non mentitur ; profert autem mendacium dolosus testis.
⁶ Quærit derisor sapientiam, et non invenit ; doctrina prudentium facilis.
⁷ Vade contra virum stultum, et nescit labia prudentiæ.
⁸ Sapientia callidi est intelligere viam suam, et imprudentia stultorum errans.
⁹ Stultus illudet peccatum, et inter justos morabitur gratia.
¹⁰ Cor quod novit amaritudinem animæ suæ, in gaudio ejus non miscebitur extraneus.
¹¹ Domus impiorum delebitur : tabernacula vero justorum germinabunt.
¹² Est via quæ videtur homini justa, novissima autem ejus deducunt ad mortem.
¹³ Risus dolore miscebitur, et extrema gaudii luctus occupat.
¹⁴ Viis suis replebitur stultus, et super eum erit vir bonus.]
¹⁵ [Innocens credit omni verbo ; astutus considerat gressus suos. Filio doloso nihil erit boni ; servo autem sapienti prosperi erunt actus, et dirigetur via ejus.
¹⁶ Sapiens timet, et declinat a malo ; stultus transilit, et confidit.
¹⁷ Impatiens operabitur stultitiam, et vir versutus odiosus est.
¹⁸ Possidebunt parvuli stultitiam, et exspectabunt astuti scientiam.
¹⁹ Jacebunt mali ante bonos, et impii ante portas justorum.
²⁰ Etiam proximo suo pauper odiosus erit : amici vero divitum multi.
²¹ Qui despicit proximum suum peccat ; qui autem miseretur pauperis beatus erit. Qui credit in Domino misericordiam diligit.
²² Errant qui operantur malum ; misericordia et veritas præparant bona.
²³ In omni opere erit abundantia ; ubi autem verba sunt plurima, ibi frequenter egestas.
²⁴ Corona sapientium divitiæ eorum ; fatuitas stultorum imprudentia.
²⁵ Liberat animas testis fidelis, et profert mendacia versipellis.]
²⁶ [In timore Domini fiducia fortitudinis, et filiis ejus erit spes.
²⁷ Timor Domini fons vitæ, ut declinent a ruina mortis.
²⁸ In multitudine populi dignitas regis, et in paucitate plebis ignominia principis.
²⁹ Qui patiens est multa gubernatur prudentia ; qui autem impatiens est exaltat stultitiam suam.
³⁰ Vita carnium sanitas cordis ; putredo ossium invidia.
³¹ Qui calumniatur egentem exprobrat factori ejus ; honorat autem eum qui miseretur pauperis.
³² In malitia sua expelletur impius : sperat autem justus in morte sua.
³³ In corde prudentis requiescit sapientia, et indoctos quosque erudiet.
³⁴ Justitia elevat gentem ; miseros autem facit populos peccatum.
³⁵ Acceptus est regi minister intelligens ; iracundiam ejus inutilis sustinebit.]
