Proverbs 14:29

Proverbs Of Solomon

²⁸ A king's glory is in the number of his people: and for need of people a ruler may come to destruction. ²⁹ He who is slow to be angry has great good sense; but he whose spirit is over-quick gives support to what is foolish. ³⁰ A quiet mind is the life of the body, but envy is a disease in the bones.
