Proverbs 14

Gen Z: Proverbs 14

1Every wise woman builds her house, but the foolish one just tears it down, no cap.

2If you walk straight, you're vibin' with the Lord; but if you're sus, you're not feeling Him.

3The foolish talk big game, but the wise keep it real and stay protected.

4No oxen, no mess; but having them means you’re stacking up, periodt.

5A real one won't lie; but a fake will just spit out those falsehoods.

6The hater looks for wisdom but can't find it; knowledge is a breeze for the woke.

7Bounce from a fool when you see they ain't got the knowledge to back it up.

8Smart people know their path; fools just play themselves with lies.

9Fools clown on sin, but the righteous are living blessed, fr.

10Your heart knows its own pain; a stranger can't mess with your joy.

11The wicked's crib is getting wrecked, but the good peeps' spot is thriving, fr.

12There's a vibe that seems right to a dude, but it leads to straight-up death, no cap.

13Even when you're laughing, the heart can feel heavy; that joy can turn into a whole mood, periodt.

14A backslider's heart is just vibing with their own mess, but a good person is satisfied with their own rizz.

15The simple just believe everything, but the wise dude checks their path, for real.

16A wise guy fears and dips from evil, but the fool just rages and thinks they're lit.

17If you're quick to anger, you're acting sus; a dude with wicked plans gets no love.

18The simple end up with foolishness, but the wise are crowned with knowledge, that's facts.

19The bad guys bow down to the good, and the wicked are at the gates of the righteous, lit.

20The poor get no love, even from their neighbors, but the rich have a squad, no cap.

21If you shade your neighbor, that's a sin, but showing love to the poor? That’s straight-up happy vibes.

22Aren't those who plot evil just sus? But mercy and truth? They’re the real ones for those who plan good.

23All work brings in the dough, but just talking a big game? That leads to struggle, no cap.

24Wise peeps flex their riches like a crown, while fools just be acting foolish, fr.

25A true homie saves souls, but a fake friend just spills lies, periodt.

26Respecting the Lord gives you mad confidence, and His kids got a safe spot to chill.

27The fear of the Lord? That’s like a life fountain, keeping you away from death's traps.

28A king's honor shines in a crowd, but when there’s no one around? That prince is done for.

29If you're chill and slow to anger, you’re wise, but being quick to rage? That's just dumb.

30A healthy heart keeps you living, but envy? That just rots your bones, fr.

31If you front on the poor, you’re dissing your Creator; but if you show love, you’re vibing with the needy.

32The wicked get ghosted by their own bad vibes, but the righteous stay hopeful even when things get tough.

33Wisdom chillin’ in the heart of the wise, but fools just spill their tea everywhere.

34Righteousness lifts a nation up; sin? That’s just a bad look for everyone, no cap.

35The king’s got mad respect for a wise servant, but he’s not here for anyone who brings shame.

KJV: Proverbs 14

1Every wise woman buildeth her house: but the foolish plucketh it down with her hands.

2He that walketh in his uprightness feareth the Lord: but he that is perverse in his ways despiseth him.

3In the mouth of the foolish is a rod of pride: but the lips of the wise shall preserve them.

4Where no oxen are, the crib is clean: but much increase is by the strength of the ox.

5A faithful witness will not lie: but a false witness will utter lies.

6A scorner seeketh wisdom, and findeth it not: but knowledge is easy unto him that understandeth.

7Go from the presence of a foolish man, when thou perceivest not in him the lips of knowledge.

8The wisdom of the prudent is to understand his way: but the folly of fools is deceit.

9Fools make a mock at sin: but among the righteous there is favour.

10The heart knoweth his own bitterness; and a stranger doth not intermeddle with his joy.

11The house of the wicked shall be overthrown: but the tabernacle of the upright shall flourish.

12There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.

13Even in laughter the heart is sorrowful; and the end of that mirth is heaviness.

14The backslider in heart shall be filled with his own ways: and a good man shall be satisfied from himself.

15The simple believeth every word: but the prudent man looketh well to his going.

16A wise man feareth, and departeth from evil: but the fool rageth, and is confident.

17He that is soon angry dealeth foolishly: and a man of wicked devices is hated.

18The simple inherit folly: but the prudent are crowned with knowledge.

19The evil bow before the good; and the wicked at the gates of the righteous.

20The poor is hated even of his own neighbour: but the rich hath many friends.

21He that despiseth his neighbour sinneth: but he that hath mercy on the poor, happy is he.

22Do they not err that devise evil? but mercy and truth shall be to them that devise good.

23In all labour there is profit: but the talk of the lips tendeth only to penury.

24The crown of the wise is their riches: but the foolishness of fools is folly.

25A true witness delivereth souls: but a deceitful witness speaketh lies.

26In the fear of the Lord is strong confidence: and his children shall have a place of refuge.

27The fear of the Lord is a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death.

28In the multitude of people is the king’s honour: but in the want of people is the destruction of the prince.

29He that is slow to wrath is of great understanding: but he that is hasty of spirit exalteth folly.

30A sound heart is the life of the flesh: but envy the rottenness of the bones.

31He that oppresseth the poor reproacheth his Maker: but he that honoureth him hath mercy on the poor.

32The wicked is driven away in his wickedness: but the righteous hath hope in his death.

33Wisdom resteth in the heart of him that hath understanding: but that which is in the midst of fools is made known.

34Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people.

35The king’s favour is toward a wise servant: but his wrath is against him that causeth shame.
