Proverbs 14:23-31
23In all labor there is profit;But the talk of the lipsH8193tendethonlyH389 to penury.24The crownH5850 of the wiseH2450 is their richesH6239;But the follyH200 of foolsH3684 is only follyH200.25A true witnessH5707 delivereth soulsH5315;But he that uttereth liesH3577 causeth deceitH4820.26In the fearH3374 of Jehovah is strong confidenceH4009;And his children shall have a place of refugeH4268.27The fearH3374 of Jehovah is a fountainH4726 of lifeH2416,That one may departH5493 from the snaresH4170 of deathH4194.28In the multitudeH7230 of peopleH5971 is the king’sH4428 glory;But in the want of peopleH5971 is the destruction of the prince.29He that is slow to angerH639 is of greatH7227 understandingH8394;But he that is hasty of spiritH7307 exalteth follyH200.30A tranquil heartH3820 is the lifeH2416 of the fleshH1320;But envyH7068 is the rottennessH7538 of the bonesH6106.31He that oppresseth the poor reproacheth his Maker;But he that hath mercy on the needyH34 honoreth him.
