3 The talk of a fool is a rod for his back,[a] but the lips of the wise will preserve them.
3 In the mouth of the foolish is a rod for his pride;But the lips of the wise shall preserve them.
25 A truthful witness saves lives, but one who utters lies is a betrayer.
25 A true witness delivereth souls;But he that [a]uttereth lies causeth deceit.
