Proverbs 14:2-4

New King James Version

² He who walks in his uprightness fears the Lord,
^(A)But he who is perverse in his ways despises Him.

³ In the mouth of a fool is a rod of pride,
^(B)But the lips of the wise will preserve them.

⁴ Where no oxen are, the ^[a]trough is clean;
But much increase comes by the strength of an ox.
