Proverbs 14:3-5
New Catholic Bible
3 The words of a fool ensure a rod for his back,[a]
but the lips of the wise keep them safe.
4 Where there are no oxen, the barn is empty of grain,
but abundant crops come through the strength of the ox.
5 A truthful witness does not lie,
but a false witness lies incessantly.[b]
