Proverbs 14:27-29

The Message

²⁷ The Fear-of-God is a spring of living water
    so you won’t go off drinking from poisoned wells.

²⁸ The mark of a good leader is loyal followers;
    leadership is nothing without a following.

²⁹ Slowness to anger makes for deep understanding;
    a quick-tempered person stockpiles stupidity.
