Proverbs 14:25-27

The Voice

²⁵ A truthful witness protects lives by not allowing evil to triumph,
    but a deceitful witness speaks lies and puts the innocent in jeopardy.
²⁶ Reverence for the Eternal brings bold confidence,
    and one’s offspring will have hope of protection.
²⁷ Respect and honor for Him is the basis of a satisfied life,
    which guards a person from being trapped in the snares of death.
