Proverbs 14:27-29
Common English Bible

27 The fear of the Lord is a fountain of life,
    turning people away from deathtraps.
28 A king’s glory is a large population,
    but a dwindling people is a ruler’s ruin.
29 Patience leads to abundant understanding,
    but impatience leads to stupid mistakes.
