Chapter 14

27 The fear of the Lord is a fountain of life, By which one may avoid the snares of death. 28In a multitude of people is a king’s glory, But in the scarcity of people is a prince’s ruin. 29One who is slow to anger has great understanding; But one who is quick-tempered exalts foolishness.
King James Version
