26 In the fear of Jehovah the trust of strength, and to his sons a refuge. 27 The fear of Jehovah a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death. 28 In a multitude of people the king's decoration: and in the cessation of the people the destruction of the prince. 29 The slow to anger of much understanding: and the short of spirit exalts folly. 30 A heart of healing, the life of the flesh: and jealousy the rottenness of the bones. 31 He oppressing the poor reproached him making him: and he honoring him compassionated the needy. 32 The unjust one shall be driven away in his evil: and the just one trusted in his death. 33 In the heart of him understanding, wisdom shall rest: and in the midst of fools it shall be made known. 34 Justice will exalt a nation: and sin a reproach to nations. 35 The acceptance of the king to a servant of understanding: and his wrath shall be to him causing shame. Proverbs 14:26-35, Smith's Literal Translation. Public domain.
