25A faithful witness shall deliver a soul from evil: but a deceitful man kindles falsehoods.
26In the fear of the Lord is strong confidence: and he leaves his children a support.
27The commandment of the Lord is a fountain of life; and it causes men to turn aside from the snare of death.
28In a populous nation is the glory of a king: but in the failure of people is the ruin of a prince.
29A man slow to wrath abounds in wisdom: but a man of impatient spirit is very foolish.
30A meek-spirited man is a healer of the heart: but a sensitive heart is a corruption of the bones.
31He that oppresses the needy provokes his Maker: but he that honours him has pity upon the poor.
32The ungodly shall be driven away in his wickedness: but he who is secure in his own holiness is just.
33There is wisdom in the good heart of a man: but in the heart of fools it is not discerned.
