Proverbs 14:26-35

²⁶In the fear of the Lord is confidence of strength, and there shall be hope for his children.

²⁷The fear of the Lord is a fountain of life, to decline from the ruin of death.

²⁸In the multitude of people is the dignity of the king: and in the small number of people the dishonour of the prince.

²⁹He that is patient, is governed with much wisdom: but he that is impatient, exalteth his folly.

³⁰Soundness of heart is the life of the flesh: but envy is the rottenness of the bones.

³¹He that oppresseth the poor, upbraideth his Maker: but he that hath pity on the poor, honoureth him.

³²The wicked man shall be driven out in his wickedness: but the just hath hope in his death.

³³In the heart of the prudent resteth wisdom, and it shall instruct all the ignorant.

³⁴Justice exalteth a nation: but sin maketh nations miserable.

³⁵A wise servant is acceptable to the king: he that is good for nothing shall feel his anger.
