Proverbs 14:28-30

New King James Version

²⁸In a multitude of people is a king’s honor,
But in the lack of people is the downfall of a prince.

²⁹^(A)He who is slow to wrath has great understanding,
But he who is ^[a]impulsive exalts folly.

³⁰A sound heart is life to the body,
But ^(B)envy is ^(C)rottenness to the bones.

Proverbs 14:28-30

New Life Version

²⁸The shining-greatness of a king is in many people, but without people a prince has nothing.

²⁹He who is slow to get angry has great understanding, but he who has a quick temper makes his foolish way look right.

³⁰A heart that has peace is life to the body, but wrong desires are like the wasting away of the bones.
