Proverbs 14:24-26

The Voice

²⁴ The wise are honored for their wealth;
    the reward of fools is more foolishness.
²⁵ A truthful witness protects lives by not allowing evil to triumph,
    but a deceitful witness speaks lies and puts the innocent in jeopardy.
²⁶ Reverence for the Eternal brings bold confidence,
    and one’s offspring will have hope of protection.
