28A large population is a king’s glory,but without subjects a prince is ruined.
29Whoever is patient has great understanding,but one who is quick-tempered displays folly.
30A heart at peace gives life to the body,but envy rots the bones.
31Whoever oppresses the poor shows contempt for their Maker,but whoever is kind to the needy honours God.
32When calamity comes, the wicked are brought down,but even in death the righteous seek refuge in God.
33Wisdom reposes in the heart of the discerningand even among fools she lets herself be known.
34Righteousness exalts a nation,but sin condemns any people.
