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 folly of fools is only folly.

²⁵A true witness delivereth souls: but he that uttereth lies causeth deceit.

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 glory: but in the want of people is the destruction of the prince.
