014:025 A truthful witness saves souls, but a false witness is deceitful. 014:026 In the fear of Yahweh is a secure fortress, and he will be a refuge for his children. 014:027 The fear of Yahweh is a fountain of life, turning people from the snares of death. 014:028 In the multitude of people is the king's glory, but in the lack of people is the destruction of the prince. 014:029 He who is slow to anger has great understanding, but he who has a quick temper displays folly. 014:030 The life of the body is a heart at peace, but envy rots the bones. 014:031 He who oppresses the poor shows contempt for his Maker, but he who is kind to the needy honors him. 014:032 The wicked is brought down in his calamity, but in death, the righteous has a refuge. 014:033 Wisdom rests in the heart of one who has understanding, and is even made known in the inward part of fools. 014:034 Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a disgrace to any people. 014:035 The king's favor is toward a servant who deals wisely, but his wrath is toward one who causes shame. 015:001 A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger. 015:002 The tongue of the wise commends knowledge, but the mouth of fools gush out folly. 015:003 Yahweh's eyes are everywhere, keeping watch on the evil and the good. 015:004 A gentle tongue is a tree of life, but deceit in it crushes the spirit. 015:005 A fool despises his father's correction, but he who heeds reproof shows prudence. 015:006 In the house of the righteous is much treasure, but the income of the wicked brings trouble. 015:007 The lips of the wise spread knowledge; not so with the heart of fools. 015:008 The sacrifice made by the wicked is an abomination to Yahweh, but the prayer of the upright is his delight. 015:009 The way of the wicked is an abomination to Yahweh, but he loves him who follows after righteousness. 015:010 There is stern discipline for one who forsakes the way: whoever hates reproof shall die. 015:011 Sheol and Abaddon are before Yahweh--how much more then the hearts of the children of men! 015:012 A scoffer doesn't love to be reproved; he will not go to the wise. 015:013 A glad heart makes a cheerful face; but an aching heart breaks the spirit. 015:014 The heart of one who has understanding seeks knowledge, but the mouths of fools feed on folly. 015:015 All the days of the afflicted are wretched, but one who has a cheerful heart enjoys a continual feast. 015:016 Better is little, with the fear of Yahweh, than great treasure with trouble. 015:017 Better is a dinner of herbs, where love is, than a fattened calf with hatred. 015:018 A wrathful man stirs up contention, but one who is slow to anger appeases strife. 015:019 The way of the sluggard is like a thorn patch, but the path of the upright is a highway.
