25. A true witness saves lives, But he who breathes out lies is a betrayer.
26. In the fear of יהוה is strong trust, And His children have a place of refuge.
27. The fear of יהוה is a fountain of life, To turn away from the snares of death.
28. In a multitude of people Is a sovereign’s splendour, But in the lack of people Is the ruin of a prince.
29. He who is patient has great understanding, But he who is short of spirit exalts folly.
