141 The wisdom of women buildeth their house; but folly plucketh it down with her hands.
2 He that walketh in his uprightness feareth Jehovah; but he that is perverted in his ways despiseth 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.
