Proverbs 14:23-31

23In all toil there is profit, but mere talk tends only to poverty.

24The crown of the wise is their wealth, but the folly of fools brings folly.

25A truthful witness saves lives, but one who breathes out lies is deceitful.

26In the fear of the Lord one has strong confidence, and his children will have a refuge.

27The fear of the Lord is a fountain of life, that one may turn away from the snares of death.

28In a multitude of people is the glory of a king, but without people a prince is ruined.

29Whoever is slow to anger has great understanding, but he who has a hasty temper exalts folly.

30A tranquil heart gives life to the flesh, but envy makes the bones rot.

31Whoever oppresses a poor man insults his Maker, but he who is generous to the needy honors him.
