Proverbs 14:2-4

Modern English Version

² He who walks in his uprightness fears the Lord,
    but he who is perverse in his ways despises Him.

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

⁴ Where no oxen are, the crib is clean;
    but much increase is by the strength of the ox.
