Proverbs 14:1-3

Revised Standard Version

14 Wisdom^[a] builds her house,
but folly with her own hands tears it down.
² He who walks in uprightness fears the Lord,
    but he who is devious in his ways despises him.
³ The talk of a fool is a rod for his back,^[b]
    but the lips of the wise will preserve them.
