Proverbs 14:27-29

New Catholic Bible

²⁷ The fear of the Lord^[a] is a fountain of life
    enabling a man to avoid the snares of death.
²⁸ Many subjects ensure the glory of a king,
    but if his subjects are few, he is of no importance.
²⁹ A patient man shows good sense,
    but a quick-tempered man displays the height of folly.
