14 A wise woman builds her home,
    but a foolish woman tears it down with her own hands.

² Those who follow the right path fear the Lord;
    those who take the wrong path despise him.

³ A fool’s proud talk becomes a rod that beats him,
    but the words of the wise keep them safe.

²⁶ Those who fear the Lord are secure;
    he will be a refuge for their children.

²⁷ Fear of the Lord is a life-giving fountain;
    it offers escape from the snares of death.

³³ Wisdom is enshrined in an understanding heart;
    wisdom is not^[a] found among fools.
