Proverbs 14:26 - Forerunner Commentary

Proverbs 14:26

24 The crown of the wise is their riches,
But the foolishness of fools is folly.

25 A true witness¹ delivers ^asouls,
But a deceitful witness speaks lies.

26 In the fear of the Lord there is strong confidence,
And His children will have a place of refuge.

27 ^aThe fear of the Lord is a fountain of life,
To turn one away from the snares of death.

28 In a multitude of people is a king’s honor,
But in the lack of people is the downfall of a prince.

29 ^aHe who is slow to wrath has great understanding,
But he who is¹ impulsive exalts folly.
