Proverbs 14:28-33 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

28. In a multitude of people is a king's glory, But in the dearth of people is a prince's ruin.

29. He who is slow to anger has great understanding, But he who is quick-tempered exalts folly.

30. A tranquil heart is life to the body, But passion is rottenness to the bones.

31. He who oppresses the poor taunts his Maker, But he who is gracious to the needy honors Him.

32. The wicked is thrust down by his wrongdoing, But the righteous has a refuge when he dies.

33. Wisdom rests in the heart of one who has understanding, But in the hearts of fools it is made known.
