26 In the fear of the Lord is strong confidence, and there his sons shall have hope.
27 The fear of the Lord is a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death.
28 In the multitude of the people is the king’s glory, but in the failure of the people is the weakness of the prince.
29 He that is slow to wrath is of great intelligence, but he that is short of spirit exalts folly.
30 A sound heart is life to the flesh, but envy is rottenness of the bones.
31 He that oppresses the poor reproaches his Maker, but he that has mercy on the poor, honours him.
32 For his wickedness shall the wicked be cast out, but the righteous in his death has hope.
