Proverbs
Chapters 14:22-28
Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version
22Whoever works to do good will find love and loyalty. It is a mistake to work at doing evil.
23If you work hard, you will have plenty. If you do nothing but talk, you will not have enough.
24A wise person’s reward is wealth, but a fool’s reward is foolishness.
25A witness who tells the truth saves lives, but one who tells lies hurts others.
26People who respect the Lord will be safe, and they will make their children feel secure.
27Respect for the Lord gives true life and will save you from death’s trap.
28Kings of large nations have great honor. Rulers without a country have nothing.
