Proverbs 14:25 Context
23In all labour there is profit: but the talke of the lippes tendeth onely to penury. 24The crowne of the wise is their riches: but the foolishnesse of fooles is folly. 25A true witnesse deliuereth soules: but a deceitfull witnesse speaketh lyes. 26In the feare of the Lord is strong confidence: and his children shall haue a place of refuge. 27The feare of the Lord, is a fountaine of life, to depart from the snares of death.
