Proverbs

²⁴The wealth of the wise is their crown, but the folly of fools yields folly. ²⁵A truthful witness saves lives, but a false witness is deceitful. ²⁶Whoever fears the Lord has a secure fortress, and for their children it will be a refuge. ²⁷The fear of the Lord is a fountain of life, turning a person from the snares of death. ²⁸A large population is a king’s glory, but without subjects a prince is ruined. ²⁹Whoever is patient has great understanding, but one who is quick-tempered displays folly. ³⁰A heart at peace gives life to the body, but envy rots the bones.
