Proverbs 14:28-35

²⁸In a numerous people is the glory of a king; But the want of people is the destruction of a prince.

²⁹He who is slow to anger is of great understanding. But he who is of a hasty spirit setteth folly on high.

³⁰A quiet heart is the life of the flesh; But the ferment of passion is rottenness to the bones.

³¹He who oppresseth the poor reproacheth his Maker; But he who hath mercy on the poor honoreth him.

³²By his wickedness the wicked is thrust down; But the righteous hath hope even in death.

³³Wisdom resteth quietly in the heart of the wise; But in the breast of fools it will be made known.

³⁴Righteousness exalteth a people; But the reproach of nations is sin.

³⁵The king's favor is toward a wise servant; But his wrath is against him that causeth shame.
