Proverbs 14:23-31

23In allH3605 labour there is profitH4195: but the talkH1697 of the lipsH8193 tendeth onlyH389 to penury.

24The crownH5850 of the wiseH2450 is their richesH6239: but the follyH200 of foolsH3684 is only follyH200.

25A trueH571 witnessH5707 delivereth soulsH5315: but he that uttereth liesH3577 causeth deceitH4820.

26In the fearH3374 of the LORDH3068 is strongH5797 confidenceH4009: and his childrenH1121 shall have a placeH1961 of refugeH4268.

27The fearH3374 of the LORDH3068 is a fountainH4726 of lifeH2416, to departH5493 from the snaresH4170 of deathH4194.

28In the multitudeH7230 of peopleH5971 is the king’sH4428 gloryH1927: but in the want of peopleH5971 is the destruction of the prince.

29He that is slowH750 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 is the rottennessH7538 of the bonesH6106.

31He that oppresseth the poorH34 reproacheth his Maker: but he that hath mercyH2603 on the needyH34 honoureth him.
