Proverbs 14:27-35

²⁷Respecting the Lord is like a fountain of life, so you can avoid the snares of death.

²⁸The glory of a king is the number of his subjects, for a ruler is nothing without them.

²⁹If you're slow to get angry, you're very wise; but if you have a short fuse you glorify stupidity.

³⁰A peaceful mind makes your body healthy, but jealousy makes your bones rot.

³¹Anyone who oppresses the poor insults their Maker, but anyone who is kind to the needy honors him.

³²Wicked people are brought down by their own evil actions, but those who live right are confident even in death.

³³Wisdom is at home in a mind that understands, but it's not found among stupid people.

³⁴Doing right makes a nation successful, but sin is a disgrace to any people.

³⁵A servant who acts wisely is appreciated by the king, but he gets angry with a servant who acts disgracefully.
