22 Do they not err who devise evil?But mercy and truth will be to those who devise good.
23 In all labor there is profit,but mere talk leads only to poverty.
24 The crown of the wise is their riches,but the foolishness of fools is folly.
25 A true witness delivers souls,but a deceitful witness speaks lies.
26 In the fear of the Lord is strong confidence,and His children will have a place of refuge.
27 The fear of the Lord is a fountain of life,to depart from the snares of death.
28 In the multitude of people is a king’s honor,but in the lack of people is the destruction of a prince.
