Proverbs 14
Complete Jewish Bible
14 Every wise woman builds up her home,
but a foolish one tears it down with her own hands.
2 A person with upright conduct fears Adonai,
but a person who is devious scorns him.
3 From the mouth of a fool sprouts pride,
but the lips of the wise protect them.
4 Where there are no oxen, the stalls are clean;
but much is produced by the strength of an ox.
5 An honest witness will not lie,
but a false witness lies with every breath.
6 A scoffer seeks wisdom in vain,
but knowledge comes easily to someone with discernment.
7 Keep clear of a fool,
for you won’t hear a sensible word from him.
8 The wisdom of the cautious makes him know where he is going,
but the folly of fools misleads them.
9 Guilt offerings make a mockery of fools;
but among the upright there is good will.
10 The heart knows its own bitterness,
and no stranger can share its joy.
11 The house of the wicked will be destroyed,
but the tent of the upright will flourish.
12 There can be a way which seems right to a person,
but at its end are the ways of death.
13 Even in laughter the heart can be sad,
and joy may end in sorrow.
14 A backslider is filled up with his own ways,
but a good person gets satisfaction from himself.
15 One who doesn’t think believes every word,
but the cautious understands his steps.
16 A wise person fears and turns away from evil,
but a fool is reckless and overconfident.
17 He who is quick-tempered does stupid things,
and one who does vile things is hated.
18 Thoughtless people inherit folly,
but the cautious are crowned with knowledge.
19 The evil bow down before the good,
and the wicked at the gates of the righteous.
20 The poor are disliked even by their peers,
but the rich have many friends.
21 He who despises his fellow sins,
but he who shows compassion to the humble is happy.
22 Won’t those who plot evil go astray?
But grace and truth are for those who plan good.
23 In all work there is profit,
but mere talk produces only poverty.
24 The crown of the wise is their riches,
but the folly of fools is just that — folly.
25 A truthful witness saves lives,
but a liar misdirects [judgment].
26 In the fear of Adonai is powerful security;
for his children there will be a place of refuge.
27 The fear of Adonai is a fountain of life
enabling one to avoid deadly traps.
28 A king’s glory lies in having many subjects;
if the prince’s people are few, it is his ruin.
29 Being slow to anger goes with great understanding,
being quick-tempered makes folly still worse.
30 A tranquil mind gives health to the body,
but envy rots the bones.
31 The oppressor of the poor insults his maker,
but he who is kind to the needy honors him.
32 The wicked are brought down by their wrongdoing,
but the righteous can be confident even at death.
33 Wisdom is at rest in a person with discernment,
but in fools it has to call attention to itself.
34 Righteousness makes a nation great,
but sin degrades any people.
35 A king shows favor to a servant with good sense,
but his wrath strikes one who shames [him].

Kawikaan 14
Ang Salita ng Dios (Tagalog Contemporary Bible)
14 Ang marunong na babae ay pinatatatag ang kanyang sambahayan, ngunit ang hangal na babae ay sinisira ang kanyang sariling tahanan.
2 Ang taong namumuhay sa katuwiran ay may takot sa Panginoon, ngunit ang namumuhay sa kasamaan ay humahamak sa kanya.
3 Ang salita ng hangal ang magpapasama sa kanya, ngunit ang salita ng marunong ang mag-iingat sa kanya.
4 Kapag wala kang hayop na pang-araro wala kang aanihin, ngunit kung may hayop ka, at malakas pa, marami ang iyong aanihin.
5 Ang tapat na saksi ay hindi nagsisinungaling, ngunit pawang kasinungalingan ang sinasabi ng saksing sinungaling.
6 Ang taong nangungutya ay hindi magkakaroon ng karunungan kahit ano pa ang kanyang gawin, ngunit ang taong may pang-unawa ay madaling matututo.
7 Iwasan mo ang mga hangal dahil wala kang mabuting matututunan sa kanila.
8 Ang karunungan ng taong marunong umunawa kung ano ang tama at mali ang nagbibigay sa kanya ng kaalaman kung ano ang kanyang gagawin, ngunit ang kahangalan ng taong hangal ang magliligaw sa kanya.
9 Balewala sa mga hangal ang makagawa ng kasalanan, ngunit ang taong matuwid ay gustong maging kalugod-lugod sa Dios.
10 Ikaw lamang ang nakakaalam ng iyong kabiguan at kagalakan.
11 Mawawasak ang tahanan ng taong masama, ngunit uunlad ang tahanan ng taong matuwid.
12 Maaaring sa tingin mo ang daang tinatahak mo ay matuwid, ngunit kamatayan pala ang dulo nito.
13 Maaaring maitago ang kalungkutan sa pamamagitan ng pagtawa, ngunit pagkatapos ng kasiyahan nariyan pa rin ang kalungkutan.
14 Ang tao ay tatanggap ng nararapat sa kanya kung ano ang ginawa niya, mabuti man o masama.
15 Pinaniniwalaan ng mangmang ang lahat ng kanyang napapakinggan, ngunit ang taong marunong umunawa ay pinag-iisipan ang kanyang napakinggan.
16 Ang taong marunong ay iniingatan ang kanyang sarili at umiiwas sa gulo, ngunit ang taong hangal ay walang pag-iingat at padalos-dalos.
17 Ang taong madaling magalit ay nakagagawa ng kamangmangan. Ang taong mapanlinlang ay kinapopootan.
18 Makikita ang kamangmangan sa taong walang alam, ngunit makikita ang karunungan sa taong nakakaunawa kung ano ang mabuti at masama.
19 Ang taong masama ay yuyuko sa taong matuwid at magsusumamo na siya ay kahabagan.
20 Ang mga mahirap kadalasan ay hindi kinakaibigan kahit ng kanyang kapitbahay, ngunit ang mga mayaman ay maraming kaibigan.
21 Ang humahamak sa kapwa ay nagkakasala, ngunit ang tumutulong sa dukha ay pinagpapala.
22 Ang nagbabalak ng masama sa kapwa ay nagkakasala, ngunit ang nagpaplano nang mabuti ay dadamayan at mamahalin ng kapwa.
23 Ang masikap sa trabaho ay may pakinabang, ngunit magiging mahirap ang puro salita lang.
24 Ang karangalan ng taong marunong ay ang kanyang kayamanan, ngunit ang hangal ay lalo pang madadagdagan ang kahangalan.
25 Ang tapat na saksi ay nagliligtas ng buhay, ngunit taksil ang saksing sinungaling.
26 Ang taong may takot sa Panginoon ay may kasiguraduhan at siya ang kanlungan ng kanyang sambahayan.
27 Ang pagkatakot sa Panginoon ay magpapabuti at magpapahaba ng iyong buhay[a] at maglalayo sa iyo sa kamatayan.
28 Ang kapangyarihan ng isang hari ay nasa dami ng kanyang nasasakupan, ngunit kung walang tauhan tiyak ang kanyang kapahamakan.
29 Ang mapagpasensya ay mas higit ang karunungan, ngunit ang madaling magalit ay nagpapakita ng kahangalan.
30 Ang payapang isipan ay nagpapalusog ng katawan, ngunit ang pagkainggit ay tulad ng kanser sa buto.
31 Ang nang-aapi ng mahihirap ay hinahamak ang Dios na lumikha sa kanila, ngunit ang nahahabag sa mahihirap ay pinararangalan ang Dios.
32 Mapapahamak ang masama dahil sa kanyang masamang gawain, ngunit ang mga matuwid ay iingatan dahil sa kanilang pagkamakadios.[b]
33 Ang karunungan ay nasa isip ng taong may pang-unawa, ngunit ang mangmang ay walang[c] nalalamang kahit ano tungkol sa karunungan.
34 Ang matuwid na pamumuhay ng mamamayan ay nagpapaunlad ng kanilang bansa, ngunit kung sila ay magkasala, mapapahiya ang kanilang bansa.
35 Sa matalinong lingkod ang hari ay nalulugod, ngunit sa hangal na lingkod siya ay napopoot.

but envy rots the bones.(AJ)

but even in death the righteous seek refuge in God.(AN)
33 Wisdom reposes in the heart of the discerning(AO)
and even among fools she lets herself be known.[b]
34 Righteousness exalts a nation,(AP)
but sin condemns any people.
35 A king delights in a wise servant,
but a shameful servant arouses his fury.(AQ)
