Proverbs 14:5 Context
3In the mouth of the foolish is a rod of pride: but the lippes of the wise shall preserue them. 4Where no Oxen are, the crib is cleane: but much increase is by the strength of the Oxe. 5A faithfull witnesse will not lye: but a false witnesse will vtter lyes. 6A scorner seeketh wisedome, and findeth it not: but knowledge is easie vnto him that vnderstandeth. 7Goe from the presence of a foolish man, when thou perceiuest not in him the lippes of knowledge.
