25
A truthful witness saves lives, but one who utters lies is deceitful.
26
He who fears the Lord is secure in confidence, and his children shall have a place of refuge.
27
The fear of the Lord is a fountain of life, turning a man from the snares of death.
28
A large population is a king’s splendor, but a lack of subjects is a prince’s ruin.
29
A patient man has great understanding, but a quick-tempered man promotes folly.
