Proverbs 14:23-31

23There isH1961 profitH4195 in allH3605 laborH6089, but mere talkH1697H8193 leads onlyH389 to povertyH4270.

24The crownH5850 of the wiseH2450 is their wealthH6239,but the effortH200 of foolsH3684 is follyH200.
25A truthfulH571 witnessH5707 savesH5337 livesH5315,but one who uttersH6315 liesH3577 is deceitfulH4820.
26He who fearsH3374 the LORDH3068 is secureH5797 in confidenceH4009,and his childrenH1121 shall haveH1961 a place of refugeH4268.
27The fearH3374 of the LORDH3068 is a fountainH4726 of lifeH2416,turningH5493 a man from the snaresH4170 of deathH4194.
28A largeH7230 populationH5971 is a king’sH4428 splendorH1927,but a lackH657 of subjectsH3816 is a prince’sH7333 ruinH4288.
29A patientH750H639 man has greatH7227 understandingH8394,but a quick-temperedH7116H7307 man promotesH7311 follyH200.
30A tranquilH4832 heartH3820 is lifeH2416 to the bodyH1320,but envyH7068 rotsH7538 the bonesH6106.
31Whoever oppressesH6231 the poorH1800 tauntsH2778 their MakerH6213,but whoever is kindH2603 to the needyH34 honors HimH3513.
