Proverbs 14:1-3

New International Reader's Version

14 A wise woman builds her house.
    But a foolish woman tears hers down with her own hands.

² Whoever has respect for the Lord lives a good life.
    But those who hate him walk down an evil path.

³ The proud words of a foolish person sting like a whip.
    But the things wise people say keep them safe.
