23In all hard work there is profit, but the talk of the lips leads only to poverty. 24The crown of the wise is their riches, but the folly of fools crowns them with folly.
25A truthful witness saves souls, but a false witness is deceitful.
After · Proverbs 14:26–27
26In the fear of the LORD is a secure fortress, and he will be a refuge for his children. 27The fear of the LORD is a fountain of life, turning people from the snares of death.
