Proverbs 14:25-35
New International Version
25 A truthful witness saves lives,
but a false witness is deceitful.(A)
28 A large population is a king’s glory,
but without subjects a prince is ruined.(F)
30 A heart at peace gives life to the body,
but envy rots the bones.(I)
31 Whoever oppresses the poor shows contempt for their Maker,(J)
but whoever is kind to the needy honors God.(K)
32 When calamity comes, the wicked are brought down,(L)
but even in death the righteous seek refuge in God.(M)
33 Wisdom reposes in the heart of the discerning(N)
and even among fools she lets herself be known.[a]
34 Righteousness exalts a nation,(O)
but sin condemns any people.
35 A king delights in a wise servant,
but a shameful servant arouses his fury.(P)
