24 The wise accumulate wisdom;fools get stupider by the day.
25 Souls are saved by truthful witnessand betrayed by the spread of lies.
26 The Fear-of-God builds up confidence,and makes a world safe for your children.
27 The Fear-of-God is a spring of living waterso you won’t go off drinking from poisoned wells.
28 The mark of a good leader is loyal followers;leadership is nothing without a following.
29 Slowness to anger makes for deep understanding;a quick-tempered person stockpiles stupidity.
30 A sound mind makes for a robust body,but runaway emotions corrode the bones.
