Proverbs 14:27-31 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

27. The fear of the Lord is a fountain of life, to decline from the ruin of death.

28. In the multitude of people is the dignity of the king: and in the small number of people the dishonour of the prince.

29. He that is patient, is governed with much wisdom: but he that is impatient, exalteth his folly.

30. Soundness of heart is the life of the flesh: but envy is the rottenness of the bones.

31. He that oppresseth the poor, upbraideth his Maker: but he that hath pity on the poor, honoureth him.
