'Builds' in the Bible

A Solomonic song of ascents.Unless the Lord builds a house,its builders labor over it in vain;unless the Lord watches over a city,the watchman stays alert in vain.

Every wise woman builds her house,but a foolish one tears it down with her own hands.

One who loves to offend loves strife;one who builds a high threshold invites injury.

Woe for the one who builds his palacethrough unrighteousness,his upper rooms through injustice,who makes his fellow man serve without payand will not give him his wages,

“Since they have led My people astray saying, ‘Peace,’ when there is no peace, for when someone builds a wall they plaster it with whitewash,

“Everything is permissible,” but not everything is helpful. “Everything is permissible,” but not everything builds up.

The person who speaks in another language builds himself up, but he who prophesies builds up the church.
