22. Do they not go astray who devise evil?But mercy and truth belong to those who devise good.
23. In all labor there is profit,But idle chatter leads only to poverty.
24. The crown of the wise is their riches,But the foolishness of fools is folly.
25. A true witness delivers souls,But a deceitful witness speaks lies.
26. In the fear of the Lord there is strong confidence,And His children will have a place of refuge.
27. The fear of the Lord is a fountain of life,To turn one away from the snares of death.
