Proverbs 14:23-28

²³In all labour there is profit: But the talk of the lips tendeth only to penury.

²⁴The crown of the wise is their riches: But the foolishness of fools is folly.

²⁵A true witness delivereth souls: But a deceitful witness speaketh lies.

²⁶In the fear of the Lord is strong confidence: And his children shall have a place of refuge.

²⁷The fear of the Lord is a fountain of life, To depart from the snares of death.

²⁸In the multitude of people is the king’s honour: But in the want of people is the destruction of the prince.
