Proverbs 14:22-27 American Standard Version (ASV)

22. Do they not err that devise evil? But mercy and truth shall be to them that devise good.

23. In all labor there is profit; But the talk of the lips tendeth only to penury.

24. The crown of the wise is their riches; But the folly of fools is only folly.

25. A true witness delivereth souls; But he that uttereth lies causeth deceit.

26. In the fear of Jehovah is strong confidence; And his children shall have a place of refuge.

27. The fear of Jehovah is a fountain of life, That one may depart from the snares of death.
