Proverbs 14:23-31

23In all labour there is profit; but the talk of the lips [tendeth] only to want.

24The crown of the wise is their riches; the folly of the foolish is folly.

25A true witness delivereth souls; but deceit uttereth lies.

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, to turn away from the snares of death.

28In the multitude of people is the king's glory; but in the lack of people is the ruin of a prince.

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

30A sound heart is the life of the flesh; but envy the rottenness of the bones.

31He that oppresseth the poor reproacheth his Maker; but he that honoureth Him is gracious to the needy.
