 [3 ](/kjv/proverbs/14/3) In the mouth of the foolish *is* a rod of pride: but the lips of the wise shall preserve them.
 
 [4 ](/kjv/proverbs/14/4) Where no oxen *are*, the crib *is* clean: but much increase *is* by the strength of the ox.
 
 [5 ](/kjv/proverbs/14/5) A faithful witness will not lie: but a false witness will utter lies.
 
 [6 ](/kjv/proverbs/14/6) A scorner seeketh wisdom, and *findeth it* not: but knowledge *is* easy unto him that understandeth.
 
 [7 ](/kjv/proverbs/14/7) Go from the presence of a foolish man, when thou perceivest not *in him* the lips of knowledge.
 
 [8 ](/kjv/proverbs/14/8) The wisdom of the prudent *is* to understand his way: but the folly of fools *is* deceit.
