24. The crown of the wise is wealth;the diadem of fools is folly.
25. The truthful witness saves lives,but whoever utters lies is a betrayer.
26. The fear of the Lord is a strong defense,a refuge even for one’s children.
27. The fear of the Lord is a fountain of life,turning one from the snares of death.
28. A multitude of subjects is the glory of the king;but if his people are few, a prince is ruined.
29. Long-suffering results in great wisdom;a short temper raises folly high.
