Proverbs 14:3-6 New Century Version (NCV)

3. Fools will be punished for their proud words,but the words of the wise will protect them.

4. When there are no oxen, no food is in the barn.But with a strong ox, much grain can be grown.

5. A truthful witness does not lie,but a false witness tells nothing but lies.

6. Those who make fun of wisdom look for it and do not find it,but knowledge comes easily to those with understanding.
