Proverbs 14:25-32 The Message (MSG)

25. Souls are saved by truthful witnessand betrayed by the spread of lies.

26. The Fear-of-God builds up confidence,and makes a world safe for your children.

27. The Fear-of-God is a spring of living waterso you won’t go off drinking from poisoned wells.

28. The mark of a good leader is loyal followers;leadership is nothing without a following.

29. Slowness to anger makes for deep understanding;a quick-tempered person stockpiles stupidity.

30. A sound mind makes for a robust body,but runaway emotions corrode the bones.

31. You insult your Maker when you exploit the powerless;when you’re kind to the poor, you honor God.

32. The evil of bad people leaves them out in the cold;the integrity of good people creates a safe place for living.
