Proverbs 14:27-31 English Standard Version (ESV)

27. The fear of the Lord is a fountain of life,that one may turn away from the snares of death.

28. In a multitude of people is the glory of a king,but without people a prince is ruined.

29. Whoever is slow to anger has great understanding,but he who has a hasty temper exalts folly.

30. A tranquil heart gives life to the flesh,but envy makes the bones rot.

31. Whoever oppresses a poor man insults his Maker, but he who is generous to the needy honors him.
