Proverbs 14 The prudent man carefully considers his conduct
and habits, but the foolish sidestep the truth of their frivolous life-style.
(v.8). A shortcut to success may be a false trail, leading to destruction.
(v.12). Though laughter may relieve the tension of one suffering grief, it is
only a temporary escape from the reality of a tragedy. (v.13). A prudent man
looks before he leaps.(v.15). Wisdom yields riches, but nothing good can be
expected from a fool.(v.24). A witness may save life or deceitfully destroy the
innocent.(v.25). The righteous put their confidence in God, believing death to
be a place of refuge and immortality (v.32). Though the wise man does not
parade his knowledge, the fool boasts of the little he has (v.33).
Proverbs 14 (KJV)

¹ Every wise woman buildeth her house: but the
foolish plucketh it down with her hands.
² He that walketh in his uprightness feareth the
LORD: but he that is perverse in his ways despiseth him.
³ In the mouth of the foolish is a rod of pride:
but the lips of the wise shall preserve them.
⁴ Where no oxen are, the crib is clean: but much
increase is by the strength of the ox.
⁵ A faithful witness will not lie: but a false
witness will utter lies.

but knowledge is easy unto him that understandeth.
⁷ Go from the presence of a foolish man, when
thou perceivest not in him the lips of knowledge.
⁸ The wisdom of the prudent is to understand his
way: but the folly of fools is deceit.
⁹ Fools make a mock at sin: but among the righteous
there is favour.

stranger doth not intermeddle with his joy.
¹¹ The house of the wicked shall be overthrown:
but the tabernacle of the upright shall flourish.
¹² There is a way which seemeth right unto a man,
but the end thereof are the ways of death.
¹³ Even in laughter the heart is sorrowful; and
the end of that mirth is heaviness.
¹⁴ The backslider in heart shall be filled with
his own ways: and a good man shall be satisfied from himself.
¹⁵ The simple believeth every word: but the
prudent man looketh well to his going.
¹⁶ A wise man feareth, and departeth from evil:
but the fool rageth, and is confident.
¹⁷ He that is soon angry dealeth foolishly: and
a man of wicked devices is hated.
¹⁸ The simple inherit folly: but the prudent are
crowned with knowledge.
¹⁹ The evil bow before the good; and the wicked
at the gates of the righteous.
²⁰ The poor is hated even of his own neighbour: but
the rich hath many friends.

he that hath mercy on the poor, happy is he.
²² Do they not err that devise evil? but mercy
and truth shall be to them that devise good.
²³ In all labour there is profit: but the talk
of the lips tendeth only to penury.

³⁰ A sound heart is the life of the flesh: but envy the rottenness of the bones.
³² The wicked is driven away in his wickedness: but the righteous hath hope in his death.
³³ Wisdom resteth in the heart of him that hath understanding: but that which is in the midst of fools is made known.
³⁴ Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people.
³⁵ The king's favour is toward a wise servant: but his wrath is against him that causeth shame.

Proverbs 15 A moker resents correction; he will not consult
the wise. He shuns the wise because he hates their reproof.(v.12). A happy
heart makes the face cheerful, but heartache crushes the spirit.(v.13) Sad
thoughts crush the spirit. One’s temperament has a considerable effect on one’s
circumstances. A cheerful look (v.30), the brightness which shines in the eyes
when good news comes. Gives health to the bones. I.e., invigorates the body.

Proverbs 16 The topic of these verses is God and His ultimate control over human activity.(vv.1-9). Man may make plans, but the execution of them, which becomes explicit in speech, fulfills God’s designs. Commit (v.3). Lit., Roll. Roll your burdens on the Lord; although they may cause you anxiety, they are not too great for Him. Love. Loyal love(v.6). The atonement for man’s sin is the result of God’s loyal love and faithfulness. The fear of the Lord motivates a man to turn away from sin when he is tempted. Verse 10-15 a king’s responsibility. As an oracle (v.10). The reference is to the finality of the king’s words. Because of this it is necessary that he be careful not to err in judgment. God is concerned with and in opposition to unfair trade practices.(v.11). It is better to live humbly with the lowly than to be enriched through improper means with the proud.(v.19). Conveys an expression of malice without words. Much evil and perversity can be disseminated without a word being spoken.(v.30). God is sovereign over human affairs. What appears to be chance is really part of God’s sovereign design.(v.33).
Proverbs 16 (KJV)
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
¹ The preparations of the heart in man, and the
answer of the tongue, is from the LORD.
² All the ways of a man are clean in his own eyes;
but the LORD weigheth the spirits.
³ Commit thy works unto the LORD, and thy
thoughts shall be established.
⁴ The LORD hath made all things for himself: yea, even the wicked for the day of evil.

²⁶ He that laboureth laboureth for himself; for his mouth craveth it of him.
²⁷ An ungodly man diggeth up evil: and in his lips there is as a burning fire.
²⁸ A froward man soweth strife: and a whisperer separateth chief friends.
²⁹ A violent man enticeth his neighbour, and leadeth him into the way that is not good.
³⁰ He shutteth his eyes to devise froward things: moving his lips he bringeth evil to pass.
³¹ The hoary head is a crown of glory, if it be found in the way of righteousness.
