Proverbs 14:23-33

1. 23 In all labour there is profit: but the talk of the lips tendeth only to penury.

2. 24 The crown of the wise is their riches: but the foolishness of fools is folly.

3. 25 A true witness delivereth souls: but a deceitful witness speaketh lies.

4. 26 In the fear of the LORD is strong confidence: and his children shall have a place of refuge.

5. 27 The fear of the LORD is a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death.

6. 28 In the multitude of people is the king's honour: but in the want of people is the destruction of the prince.

7. 29 He that is slow to wrath is of great understanding: but he that is hasty of spirit exalteth folly.

8. 30 A sound heart is the life of the flesh: but envy the rottenness of the bones.

9. 31 He that oppresseth the poor reproacheth his Maker: but he that honoureth him hath mercy on the poor.

10. 32 The wicked is driven away in his wickedness: but the righteous hath hope in his death.

11. 33 Wisdom resteth in the heart of him that hath understanding: but that which is in the midst of fools is made known.
