Proverbs 14:27-29

Revised Standard Version

²⁷ The fear of the Lord is a fountain of life,
    that one may avoid the snares of death.
²⁸ In a multitude of people is the glory of a king,
    but without people a prince is ruined.
²⁹ He who is slow to anger has great understanding,
    but he who has a hasty temper exalts folly.
