Proverbs 14:27-35
New American Standard Bible

Chapter 14

27 The fear of the Lord is a fountain of life, By which one may avoid the snares of death. 28In a multitude of people is a king’s glory, But in the scarcity of people is a prince’s ruin. 29One who is slow to anger has great understanding; But one who is quick-tempered exalts foolishness. 30A tranquil heart is life to the body, But jealousy is rottenness to the bones. 31One who oppresses the poor taunts his Maker, But one who is gracious to the needy honors Him. 32The wicked is thrust down by his own wrongdoing, But the righteous has a refuge when he dies. 33Wisdom rests in the heart of one who has understanding, But among fools it is made known. 34Righteousness exalts a nation, But sin is a disgrace to any people. 35The king’s favor is toward a servant who acts wisely, But his anger is toward him who acts shamefully.
King James Version

Chapter 14

27The fear of the Lord is a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death.
28In the multitude of people is the king's honour: but in the want of people is the destruction of the prince.
29He that is slow to wrath is of great understanding: but he that is hasty of spirit exalteth folly.
30A sound heart is the life of the flesh: but envy the rottenness of the bones.
31He that oppresseth the poor reproacheth his Maker: but he that honoureth him hath mercy on the poor.
32The wicked is driven away in his wickedness: but the righteous hath hope in his death.
33Wisdom resteth in the heart of him that hath understanding: but that which is in the midst of fools is made known.
34Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people.
35The king's favour is toward a wise servant: but his wrath is against him that causeth shame.
Christian Standard Bible

Chapter 14

27The fear of the Lord is a fountain of life, turning people away from the snares of death.
28A large population is a king’s splendor, but a shortage of people is a ruler’s devastation.
29A patient person shows great understanding, but a quick-tempered one promotes foolishness.
30A tranquil heart is life to the body, but jealousy is rottenness to the bones.
31The one who oppresses the poor person insults his Maker, but one who is kind to the needy honors him.
32The wicked one is thrown down by his own sin, but the righteous one has a refuge in his death.
33Wisdom resides in the heart of the discerning; she is known even among fools.
34Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a disgrace to any people. 35A king favors a prudent servant, but his anger falls on a disgraceful one.
New Living Translation

Chapter 14

27Fear of the Lord is a life-giving fountain; it offers escape from the snares of death.
28A growing population is a king’s glory; a prince without subjects has nothing.
29People with understanding control their anger; a hot temper shows great foolishness.
30A peaceful heart leads to a healthy body; jealousy is like cancer in the bones.
31Those who oppress the poor insult their Maker, but helping the poor honors him.
32The wicked are crushed by disaster, but the godly have a refuge when they die.
33Wisdom is enshrined in an understanding heart; wisdom is not found among fools.
34Godliness makes a nation great, but sin is a disgrace to any people.
35A king rejoices in wise servants but is angry with those who disgrace him.

Chapter 14

27The fear of the Lord is a fountain of life, that one may turn away from the snares of death. 28In a multitude of people is the glory of a king, but without people a prince is ruined. 29Whoever is slow to anger has great understanding, but he who has a hasty temper exalts folly. 30A tranquil heart gives life to the flesh, but envy makes the bones rot. 31Whoever oppresses a poor man insults his Maker, but he who is generous to the needy honors him. 32 The wicked is overthrown through his evildoing, but the righteous finds refuge in his death. 33Wisdom rests in the heart of a man of understanding, but it makes itself known even in the midst of fools. 34Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people. 35A servant who deals wisely has the king 's favor, but his wrath falls on one who acts shamefully.

Chapter 14

27 The fear of the Lord is a fountain of life, To turn one away from the snares of death. 28In a multitude of people is a king’s honor, But in the lack of people is the downfall of a prince. 29 He who is slow to wrath has great understanding, But he who is impulsive exalts folly. 30A sound heart is life to the body, But envy is rottenness to the bones. 31 He who oppresses the poor reproaches his Maker, But he who honors Him has mercy on the needy. 32The wicked is banished in his wickedness, But the righteous has a refuge in his death. 33Wisdom rests in the heart of him who has understanding, But what is in the heart of fools is made known. 34Righteousness exalts a nation, But sin is a reproach to any people. 35 The king’s favor is toward a wise servant, But his wrath is against him who causes shame.
