Proverbs 14:23-31

23In all labor there is profit, But idle chatter leads only to poverty.

24The crown of the wise is their riches, But the foolishness of fools is folly.

25A true witness delivers souls, But a deceitful witness speaks lies.

26In the fear of the Lord there is strong confidence, And His children will have a place of refuge.

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

28In a multitude of people is a king’s honor, But in the lack of people is the downfall of a prince.

29He who is slow to wrath has great understanding, But he who is impulsive exalts folly.

30A sound heart is life to the body, But envy is rottenness to the bones.

31He who oppresses the poor reproaches his Maker, But he who honors Him has mercy on the needy.
