Each heart knows its own bitterness, and no one else can share its joy.

 Proverbs 14:1-35

The wise woman builds her house, but with her own hands the foolish one tears hers down.

Whoever fears the Lord walks uprightly, but those who despise him are devious in their ways.

A fool’s mouth lashes out with pride, but the lips of the wise protect them.

Stay away from a fool, for you will not find knowledge on their lips.

Each heart knows its own bitterness, and no one else can share its joy.

There is a way that appears to be right, but in the end it leads to death.

The simple believe anything, but the prudent give thought to their steps.

All hard work brings a profit, but mere talk leads only to poverty.

The wise fear the Lord and shun evil, but a fool is hotheaded and yet feels secure.

The fear of the Lord is a fountain of life, turning a person from the snares of death.

Why?

The fool is connecting with pride.

A way that appears to be right is the way of selfish and prideful way, which leads to death.

Don't believe everything only the prudent give thought to their steps.

Fear the Lord is a wise man. The fear of the Lord is a fountain of life.

The Bible asks us to work hard, which brings a profit.

表面上講農業社會現象，強調為了乾淨以致什麼都沒有，什麼都沒有就不用花時間做工，有牛才能有好收成，當然就會多出許多需要清理的東西，我們希望成長，就是須要去清理我們自己，必須清理修剪。若我們要土產加多，就必須去清理牛糞等。

褻慢人因為拒絕神以致尋不著智慧，若我們沒有謙卑的心，我們讀聖經是讀不懂的。

通達人如何知道走對路，因為會常常自我反省。愚昧人常常以為自己走對的路。

異端的教會有個特點通常很封閉，不易明白其真正教義。一個正統教會如果不常常反省自己，自然容易走向異端。

通達人追求的是認識神，以此為他的榮耀。

敬畏耶和華1)今生有依靠，2)未來有生命的泉源。

Everyone has their own life and a different way, which is the way our hearts and wisdom are chosen.
