Proverbs 14:27-29

Modern English Version

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

²⁸ In the multitude of people is a king’s honor,
    but in the lack of people is the destruction of a prince.

²⁹ He who is slow to wrath is of great understanding,
    but he who is hasty of spirit exalts folly.
