Proverbs 14:25-27

New International Reader's Version

²⁵ An honest witness saves lives.
    But a dishonest witness tells lies.

²⁶ Anyone who shows respect for the Lord has a strong tower.
    It will be a safe place for their children.

²⁷ Respect for the Lord is like a fountain that gives life.
    It turns you away from the jaws of death.
