Proverbs 14:27-35

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 honour: But in the want of people is the destruction of the prince.

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

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

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

³²The wicked is driven away in his wickedness: But the righteous hath hope in his death.

³³Wisdom resteth in the heart of him that hath understanding: But that which is in the midst of fools is made known.

³⁴Righteousness exalteth a nation: But sin is a reproach to any people.

³⁵The king’s favour is toward a wise servant: But his wrath is against him that causeth shame.
