141 The wise woman builds her house, But the foolish pulls it down with her hands.
2 He who walks in his uprightness fears the Lord, But he who is perverse in his ways despises Him.
(Read Proverbs 14:1)
A woman who has no fear of God, who is wilful and wasteful, and indulges her ease, will as certainly ruin her family, as if she plucked her house down.
(Read Proverbs 14:2)
Here are grace and sin in their true colours. Those that despise God's precepts and promises, despise God and all his power and mercy.
