Proverbs 14:26-35 ▼

26 The feare of the LORDE is a stroge holde, for vnto his he wyl be a sure defence.

27 The feare of the LORDE is a well of life, to auoyde the snares of death.

28 The increase and prosperite of the comons is the kynges honoure, but the decaye of the people is the confucio of the prynce.

29 Pacience is a token of wisdome, but wrath and haistie displeasure is a token of foolishnesse.

30 A mery herte is the life of the body, but rancoure consumeth awaye the bones.

31 He that doth a poore man wroge, blasphemeth his maker: but who so hath pitie of the poore, doth honoure vnto God.

32 The vngodly is afrayed of euery parell, but the rightuous hath a good hope eue in death.

33 wysdome resteth in the herte of him that hath vnderstondinge, and he wyll teach them that are vnlerned.

34 Rightuousnes setteth vp the people, but wyckednesse bryngeth folke to destruccion.

35 A discrete seruaunt is a pleasure vnto ye kynge, but one yt is not honest, prouoketh him vnto wrath.
