PROVERBS 14:27-31

²⁷The fear of the LORD is a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death.

²⁸In the multitude of people is the king’s glory: but in the want of people is the destruction of the prince.

²⁹He that is slow to anger is of great understanding: but he that is hasty of spirit exalteth folly.

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

³¹He that oppresseth the poor reproacheth his Maker: but he that hath mercy on the needy honoureth him.
