1A wise woman buildeth her house: but the foolish will pull down with her hands that also which is built.
1Palungha nongpata loe a ohhaih im to sak; toe kamthu nongpata loe a im to a phraek.
2He that walketh in the right way, and feareth God, Cis despised by him that goeth by an infamous way.

3In the mouth of a fool is the rod of pride: but the lips of the wise preserve them.

7Go against a foolish man, and he knoweth not the lips of prudence.
7Anih ih pahni ah palunghahaih om ai tiah na panoek nahaeloe, kamthu to om taak duem ah.
8The wisdom of a. discreet man is to understand his way: and the imprudence of fools erreth.

14A fool shall be filled with his own ways, and the good man shall be above him.
