In context
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. 28A king’s splendor is in a numerous people; without subjects a prince is ruined.
