Proverbs 14:24-32

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 Jehovah is strong confidence; And his children shall have a place of refuge.

²⁷The fear of Jehovah is a fountain of life, That one may 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.

²⁹He that is slow to anger is of great understanding; But he that is hasty of spirit exalteth folly.

³⁰A tranquil heart is the life of the flesh; But envy is the rottenness of the bones.

³¹He that oppresseth the poor reproacheth his Maker; But he that hath mercy on the needy honoreth him.

³²The wicked is thrust down in his evil-doing; But the righteous hath a refuge in his death.
