Proverbs 14:22-30

²²Behold, those who contrive evil are in error; but kindness and truth attend on those who contrive what is good.

²³In all painful labor there is profit; but mere words of the lips lead only to want.

²⁴The crown of the wise is their riches; but the folly of fools is only folly.

²⁵A deliverer of souls is the true witness; but a witness of deceit uttereth lies.

²⁶In the fear of the Lord is the strong confidence of man, and unto his children will it be a place of shelter.

²⁷The fear of the Lord is the source of life, teaching to avoid the snares of death.

²⁸In the multitude of people is the king's glory; but in the want of a population is the downfall of the prince.

²⁹He that is slow to anger is of great understanding; but he that is hasty of spirit holdeth up to view his folly.

³⁰A sound heart is the life of the body; but jealousy is the rottenness of the bones.
