Proverbs 14:3-5

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

³ The talk of fools is a rod for their backs,^[a]
    but the lips of the wise preserve them.
⁴ Where there are no oxen, there is no grain;
    abundant crops come by the strength of the ox.
⁵ A faithful witness does not lie,
    but a false witness breathes out lies.
