Proverbs 14:24-26

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

²⁴ The crown of the wise is their wealth of Wisdom, but the foolishness of [self-confident] fools is [nothing but] folly.

²⁵ A truthful witness saves lives, but a deceitful witness speaks lies [and endangers lives].

²⁶ In the reverent and worshipful fear of the Lord there is strong confidence, and His children shall always have a place of refuge.
