26In the fear of Jehovah is strong confidence, And to His sons there is a refuge.
27The fear of Jehovah is a fountain of life, To turn aside from snares of death.
28In the multitude of a people is the honour of a king, And in lack of people the ruin of a prince.
29Whoso is slow to anger is of great understanding, And whoso is short in temper is exalting folly.
30A healed heart is life to the flesh, And rottenness to the bones is envy.
31An oppressor of the poor reproacheth his Maker, And whoso is honouring Him Is favouring the needy.
32In his wickedness is the wicked driven away, And trustful in his death is the righteous.
33In the heart of the intelligent wisdom doth rest. And in the midst of fools it is known.
34Righteousness exalteth a nation, And the goodliness of peoples is a sin-offering.
