Proverbs 14:4

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

⁴Where there are no oxen, there is no grain;
abundant crops come by the strength of the ox.

Proverbs 14:4

Common English Bible

⁴When there are no oxen, the stall is clean,
but when there is a strong bull, there is abundant produce.

¹⁰The heart knows its own bitterness,
and no stranger shares its joy.

¹⁰The heart knows its own distress;
another person can’t share its joy.

¹³Even in laughter the heart is sad,
and the end of joy is grief.^(A)

¹³The heart feels pain even in laughter,
and in the end, joy turns to sorrow.
