Proverbs

²⁵A true witness delivereth souls: but he that uttereth lies causeth deceit. ²⁶In the fear of the LORD is strong confidence: and his children shall have a place of refuge. ²⁷The fear of the LORD is a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death. ²⁸In the multitude of people is the king's glory: but in the want of people is the destruction of the 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 is the rottenness of the bones. ³¹He that oppresseth the poor reproacheth his Maker: but he that hath mercy on the needy honoureth him.
