23 In all hard work there is profit, But the talk of the lips leads only to poverty.
24 The crown of the wise is their riches, But the folly of fools crowns them with folly.
25 A truthful witness saves souls, But a false witness is deceitful.
26 In the fear of Yahweh is a secure fortress, And he will be a refuge for his children.
27 The fear of Yahweh is a fountain of life, Turning people from the snares of death.
28 In the multitude of people is the king`s glory, But in the lack of people is the destruction of the prince.
