Proverbs 14:4-6

New International Reader's Version

⁴Where there are no oxen, the feed box is empty.
But a strong ox brings in huge harvests.

⁵An honest witness does not lie.
But a dishonest witness pours out lies.

⁶Those who make fun of others look for wisdom and don’t find it.
But knowledge comes easily to those who understand what is right.
