Proverbs 14:28-34

²⁸The glory of a king is found in the great number of his people, but without people the prince is ruined.

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.

³⁴Doing what is right exalts a nation, but sin is a disgrace to any people.
