Proverbs 14:27-34 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

27. Respect for the Lord gives life.It is like a fountain of water that can save people from death.

28. A king is honored when he has many people to rule.But a prince is ruined if he has none.

29. A person who does not quickly get angry shows that he has understanding.But a person who quickly loses his temper shows his foolishness.

30. Peace of mind means a healthy body.But jealousy will rot your bones.

31. Whoever is cruel to the poor insults their Maker.But anyone who is kind to the needy honors God.

32. The wicked are ruined by their own evil.But those who do what is right are protected by their honesty.

33. The person who has understanding has wisdom.And even fools recognize it.

34. Doing what is right makes a nation great.But sin will bring disgrace to any people.
