28 In the multitude of people is the king's glory: but in the want of people is the destruction of the prince.
29 He that is slow to anger is of great understanding: but he that is hasty of spirit exalteth folly.
30 A sound heart is the life of the flesh: but envy is the rottenness of the bones.
31 He that oppresseth the poor reproacheth his Maker: but he that hath mercy on the needy honoureth him.
32 The wicked is thrust down in his evil-doing: but the righteous hath hope in his death.
33 Wisdom resteth in the heart of him that hath understanding: but that which is in the inward part of fools is made known.
34 Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people.
