Proverbs 14:24-26

New International Reader's Version

²⁴ The wealth of wise people is their crown.
    But the foolish ways of foolish people lead to what is foolish.

²⁵ An honest witness saves lives.
    But a dishonest witness tells lies.

²⁶ Anyone who shows respect for the Lord has a strong tower.
    It will be a safe place for their children.
