Proverbs 14:26-28

New International Reader's Version

²⁶ Anyone who shows respect for the Lord has a strong tower.
    It will be a safe place for their children.

²⁷ Respect for the Lord is like a fountain that gives life.
    It turns you away from the jaws of death.

²⁸ A large population is a king’s glory.
    But a prince without followers is destroyed.
