Proverbs 14:3

Evangelical Heritage Version

³In the mouth of a stubborn fool there is a proud rod,^[a]
but the lips of the wise protect them.

Proverbs 14:3 The meaning of a proud rod is uncertain, but there is no textual support for the common emendation, a rod for his back.

Proverbs 14:3

Lexham English Bible

³In the mouth of a fool is the rod of pride,
but the lips of the wise preserve them.

²⁵A truthful witness saves lives,
but a liar breathes deceit.

²⁵He who saves lives^[a] is a witness of truth,
but he who utters lies is a betrayer.
