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.
