[25] A true witness delivereth souls: but a deceitful witness speaketh lies. [26] In the fear is strong confidence: and his children shall have a place of refuge. [27] The fear of the LORD is a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death. [28] In the multitude of people is the king's honour: but in the want of people is the destruction of the prince. [29] He that is slow to wrath is of great understanding: but he that is hasty of spirit exalteth folly. [30] A sound heart is the life of the flesh: but envy the rottenness of the bones. [31] He that oppresseth the poor reproacheth his Maker: but he that honoureth him hath mercy on the poor. [32] The wicked is driven away in his wickedness: but the righteous hath hope in his death. [33] Wisdom resteth in the heart of him that hath understanding: but that which is in the midst of fools is made known. [34] Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people. [35] The king's favour is toward a wise servant: but his wrath is against him that causeth shame.
