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 there is strong confidence,And His children will have a place of refuge.
27 The fear of the Lord is a fountain of life,To turn one away from the snares of death.
28 In a multitude of people is a king’s honor,But in the lack of people is the downfall of a prince.
29 He who is slow to wrath has great understanding,But he who is impulsive exalts folly.
30 A sound heart is life to the body,But envy is rottenness to the bones.
