“A true witness delivereth souls: But a deceitful witness speaketh lies.
In the fear of the LORD is strong confidence: And his children shall have a place of refuge. The fear of the LORD is a fountain of life, To depart from the snares of death.
In the multitude of people is the king’s honour: But in the want of people is the destruction of the prince.
He that is slow to wrath is of great understanding: But he that is hasty of spirit exalteth folly.
A sound heart is the life of the flesh: But envy the rottenness of the bones.
He that oppresseth the poor reproacheth his Maker: But he that honoureth him hath mercy on the poor.
The wicked is driven away in his wickedness: But the righteous hath hope in his death.
Wisdom resteth in the heart of him that hath understanding: But that which is in the midst of fools is made known.
Righteousness exalteth a nation: But sin is a reproach to any people.
The king’s favour is toward a wise servant: But his wrath is against him that causeth shame.”
Proverbs 14:25-35 KJV
