26 The Fear-of-God builds up confidence,and makes a world safe for your children.
27 The Fear-of-God is a spring of living waterso you won’t go off drinking from poisoned wells.
28 The mark of a good leader is loyal followers;leadership is nothing without a following.
29 Slowness to anger makes for deep understanding;a quick-tempered person stockpiles stupidity.
30 A sound mind makes for a robust body,but runaway emotions corrode the bones.
31 You insult your Maker when you exploit the powerless;when you’re kind to the poor, you honor God.
32 The evil of bad people leaves them out in the cold;the integrity of good people creates a safe place for living.
