Proverbs 14:23-26 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

23. In all labor there is profit,but mere talk tends only to loss.

24. The crown of the wise is wealth;the diadem of fools is folly.

25. The truthful witness saves lives,but whoever utters lies is a betrayer.

26. The fear of the Lord is a strong defense,a refuge even for one’s children.
