Proverbs 14:24-26

New Catholic Bible

²⁴ The crown of the wise is their riches;
    the garland of fools is their folly.
²⁵ A truthful witness saves lives;
    anyone who utters lies is an impostor.
²⁶ He who fears the Lord^[a] provides strong security,
    and in him one’s children will find a refuge.
