Proverbs 14:4-6

Holman Christian Standard Bible

⁴ Where there are no oxen, the feeding trough is empty,^[a]
but an abundant harvest comes
through the strength of an ox.

⁵ An honest witness does not deceive,
but a dishonest witness utters lies.^(A)

⁶ A mocker seeks wisdom and doesn’t find it,
but knowledge comes easily to the perceptive.
