Proverbs 14:2

IntegrityGod's holiness

1 Every wise woman builds her house, but a foolish one tears it down with her own hands.

He who walks in uprightness fears the LORD, but the one who is devious in his ways despises Him.

3 The proud speech of a fool brings a rod to his back, but the lips of the wise protect them.

4 Where there are no oxen, the manger is empty, but an abundant harvest comes through the strength of the ox.
