Proverbs 14:25-30 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

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.

27. The fear of the Lord is a fountain of life,turning one from the snares of death.

28. A multitude of subjects is the glory of the king;but if his people are few, a prince is ruined.

29. Long-suffering results in great wisdom;a short temper raises folly high.

30. A tranquil mind gives life to the body,but jealousy rots the bones.
