Proverbs 14:26 BBE

²⁴  Their wisdom is a crown to the wise, but their foolish behaviour is round the head of the unwise.

²⁵  A true witness is the saviour of lives; but he who says false things is a cause of deceit.

²⁶  For him in whose heart is the fear of the Lord there is strong hope: and his children will have a safe place.

²⁷  The fear of the Lord is a fountain of life, by which one may be turned from the nets of death.

²⁸  A king's glory is in the number of his people: and for need of people a ruler may come to destruction.
