A truthful witness saves lives, but whoever breathes out lies is nothing but deceit.
In context
23In all toil there is profit, but mere talk leads only to want. 24The crown of the wise is their wealth; the folly of fools is folly. 25A truthful witness saves lives, but whoever breathes out lies is nothing but deceit. 26In the fear of Yahweh is a strong confidence, and for his children there will be a refuge. 27The fear of Yahweh is a fountain of life, turning one away from the snares of death.
