Proverbs 14:2-6 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

2. One who walks on a virtuous journey, and who fears God, is despised by him who advances along a disreputable way.

3. In the mouth of the foolish, there is a rod of arrogance. But the lips of the wise guard them.

4. Where there are no oxen, the feeding trough is empty. But where there are many crops, there the strength of the ox is manifest.

5. A faithful witness will not lie. But a deceitful witness offers a lie.

6. A mocker seeks wisdom and does not find it. The doctrine of the prudent is accessible.
