Proverbs 14:26-28

New American Standard Bible 1995

²⁶ In the ^[a](A)fear of the Lord there is strong confidence,
And ^[b]his children will have refuge.
²⁷ The ^[c]fear of the Lord is a fountain of life,
That one may avoid the snares of death.
²⁸ In a multitude of people is a king’s glory,
But in the dearth of people is a prince’s ruin.
