Proverbs 14
1 Every wise woman has built her house, And the foolish breaks it down with her hands.
Numeiching in ain-chen akisemtup in, numei ngol in vang amatah ain-chen sukeh in apangin ahi.
2 Whoever is walking in his uprightness is fearing YHWH, And the perverted is despising Him [in] his ways.
