Proverbs 14:4-6
The Message
Proverbs 14:4-6
The Message
4 No cattle, no crops;
a good harvest requires a strong ox for the plow.
5 A true witness never lies;
a false witness makes a business of it.
6 Cynics look high and low for wisdom—and never find it;
the open-minded find it right on their doorstep!
Proverbs 14:4-6
New International Version
Proverbs 14:4-6
New International Version
4 Where there are no oxen, the manger is empty,
but from the strength of an ox(A) come abundant harvests.
5 An honest witness does not deceive,
but a false witness pours out lies.(B)
6 The mocker seeks wisdom and finds none,
but knowledge comes easily to the discerning.(C)
