²⁸In the multitude of people is the king's honour: but in the want of people is the destruction of the prince.

²⁹He that is slow to wrath is of great understanding: but he that is hasty of spirit exalteth folly.

³⁰A sound heart is the life of the flesh: but envy the rottenness of the bones.

But in the lack of people is the downfall of a prince.

But he who is ^[a]impulsive exalts folly.

³⁰A sound heart is life to the body,
But ^(B)envy is ^(C)rottenness to the bones.
