Proverbs 14:1-3

Contemporary English Version

14 A woman's family
is held together
    by her wisdom,
but it can be destroyed
    by her foolishness.
² By living right, you show
    that you respect the Lord;
by being deceitful, you show
    that you despise him.
³ Proud fools are punished
    for their stupid talk,
but sensible talk
    can save your life.
