In the fear of the LORD is strong confidence: and his children shall have a place of refuge.  The fear of the LORD is a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death.
In the multitude of people is the king’s honour: but in the want of people is the destruction of the prince.
He that is slow to wrath is of great understanding: but he that is hasty of spirit exalteth folly.
A sound heart is the life of the flesh: but envy the rottenness of the bones.
He that oppresseth the poor reproacheth his Maker: but he that honoureth him hath mercy on the poor.
The wicked is driven away in his wickedness: but the righteous hath hope in his death.
Wisdom resteth in the heart of him that hath understanding: but that which is in the midst of fools is made known.
Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people.
The king’s favour is toward a wise servant: but his wrath is against him that causeth shame.

Proverbs 14:26-35

The life of any human being on earth will be a better life lived when they fear the LORD.  The rest of these Proverbs will be heard, and heeded through our respect and awe toward  the  GOD who made the heavens and the earth.

Note the warning, “He that oppresses the poor reproaches his Maker…”  How are we doing with the poor?  How am I  doing with the poor?
