Proverbs 14:5-14

Proverbs 14:5-14 NABRE

A trustworthy witness does not lie, but one who spouts lies makes a lying witness. The scoffer seeks wisdom in vain, but knowledge is easy for the intelligent. Go from the face of the fool; you get no knowledge from such lips. The wisdom of the shrewd enlightens their way, but the folly of fools is deceit. The wicked scorn a guilt offering, but the upright find acceptance. The heart knows its own bitterness, and its joy no stranger shares. The house of the wicked will be destroyed, but the tent of the upright will flourish. Sometimes a way seems right, but the end of it leads to death! Even in laughter the heart may be sad, and the end of joy may be sorrow. From their own ways turncoats are sated, from their own actions, the loyal.
