Whoever (A)walks in uprightness fears the Lord,
    but he who is (B)devious in his ways despises him.
By the mouth of a fool comes (C)a rod for his back,[a]
    (D)but the lips of the wise will preserve them.
Where there are no oxen, the manger is clean,
    but abundant crops come by the strength of the ox.
