Proverbs 14:4-6

Lexham English Bible

⁴ When there are no^[a] oxen the manger is empty,
    but an abundance of crops comes by the strength of an ox.^[b]
5 A faithful witness does not lie,
    but he who breathes out falsehood is a witness of deceit.
⁶ A scoffer seeks wisdom, but there is none,
    but knowledge comes easily to him who understands.^[c]
