The Way That Seems Right | Proverbs 14 Song

📖 Proverbs 14 is a powerful collection of wisdom sayings that contrast the path of righteousness with the path of folly. In these verses, Solomon shows us how wisdom builds while foolishness destroys, how the fear of Yahweh is a fountain of life, and how righteousness exalts a nation but sin brings shame.

This chapter calls us to careful living: to weigh our steps, to guard our lips, to walk in truth, to show kindness to the poor, and to live in the fear of Yahweh. Every verse paints a picture of life and death, wisdom and folly, peace and destruction.

The message is clear: true wisdom is not found in what seems right to man, but in what is rooted in the fear of Yahweh. The wise build; the foolish tear down. The prudent turn from evil; the reckless run into ruin. Righteousness uplifts; sin drags down.

As you listen to this word-for-word song of Proverbs 14, let it not only be music but also a mirror — calling us into lives of wisdom, humility, and reverence before the Lord.

(Full chapter text included — word for word as sung)

1 Every wise woman builds her house,
but the foolish one tears it down with her own hands.

2 He who walks in his uprightness fears Yahweh,
but he who is perverse in his ways despises him.

3 The fool’s talk brings a rod to his back,
but the lips of the wise protect them.

4 Where no oxen are, the crib is clean,
but much increase is by the strength of the ox.

5 A truthful witness will not lie,
but a false witness pours out lies.

6 A scoffer seeks wisdom, and doesn’t find it,
but knowledge comes easily to a discerning person.

7 Stay away from a foolish man,
for you won’t find knowledge on his lips.

8 The wisdom of the prudent is to think about his way,
but the folly of fools is deceit.

9 Fools mock at making atonement for sins,
but among the upright there is good will.

10 The heart knows its own bitterness and joy;
he will not share these with a stranger.

11 The house of the wicked will be overthrown,
but the tent of the upright will flourish.

12 There is a way which seems right to a man,
but in the end it leads to death.

13 Even in laughter the heart may be sorrowful,
and mirth may end in heaviness.

14 The unfaithful will be repaid for his own ways;
likewise a good man will be rewarded for his ways.

15 The simple believe everything,
but the prudent carefully consider their steps.

16 A wise man fears and shuns evil,
but the fool is hot headed and reckless.

17 He who is quick to become angry will commit folly,
and a crafty man is hated.

18 The simple inherit folly,
but the prudent are crowned with knowledge.

19 The evil bow down before the good,
and the wicked at the gates of the righteous.

20 The poor person is shunned even by his own neighbor,
but the rich person has many friends.

21 He who despises his neighbor sins,
but he who has pity on the poor is blessed.

22 Don’t they go astray who plot evil?
But love and faithfulness belong to those who plan good.

23 In all hard work there is profit,
but the talk of the lips leads only to poverty.

24 The crown of the wise is their riches,
but the folly of fools crowns them with folly.

25 A truthful witness saves souls,
but a false witness is deceitful.

26 In the fear of Yahweh is a secure fortress,
and he will be a refuge for his children.

27 The fear of Yahweh is a fountain of life,
turning people from the snares of death.

28 In the multitude of people is the king’s glory,
but in the lack of people is the destruction of the prince.

29 He who is slow to anger has great understanding,
but he who has a quick temper displays folly.

30 The life of the body is a heart at peace,
but envy rots the bones.

31 He who oppresses the poor shows contempt for his Maker,
but he who is kind to the needy honors him.

32 The wicked is brought down in his calamity,
but in death, the righteous has a refuge.

33 Wisdom rests in the heart of one who has understanding,
and is even made known in the inward part of fools.

34 Righteousness exalts a nation,
but sin is a disgrace to any people.

35 The king’s favor is toward a servant who deals wisely,
but his wrath is toward one who causes shame.
