Proverbs 14:23-31

23In all labour there is profit; but the talk of the lipsH8193 [tendeth] onlyH389 to want.

24The crownH5850 of the wiseH2450 is their richesH6239; the follyH200 of the foolish is follyH200.

25A true witnessH5707 delivereth soulsH5315; but deceitH4820 uttereth liesH3577.

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, to turnH5493 awayH5493 from the snaresH4170 of deathH4194.

28In the multitudeH7230 of peopleH5971 is the king's glory; but in the lack of peopleH5971 is the ruinH4288 of a prince.

29He that is slow to angerH639 is of greatH7227 understandingH8394; but he that is hasty of spiritH7307 exalteth follyH200.

30A sound heartH3820 is the lifeH2416 of the fleshH1320; but envyH7068 the rottennessH7538 of the bonesH6106.

31He that oppresseth the poor reproacheth his Maker; but he that honoureth Him is gracious to the needyH34.
