29A patient person has great understanding, but the quick-tempered person exalts folly.
30A tranquil heart is life for the body, but envy rots the bones.
31The one who oppresses the poor curses his Maker, but the one who shows favor to the needy honors him.
32The wicked person is brought down by his evil actions, but the righteous person has a refuge even in death.
33Wisdom rests in the heart of the discerning, but even among fools she lets herself be known.
