New King James Version

Proverbs 14:25-31 New King James Version (NKJV)

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.

28. In a multitude of people is a king’s honor,But in the lack of people is the downfall of a prince.

29. He who is slow to wrath has great understanding,But he who is impulsive exalts folly.

30. A sound heart is life to the body,But envy is rottenness to the bones.

31. He who oppresses the poor reproaches his Maker,But he who honors Him has mercy on the needy.
