Proverbs 14:28-34

²⁸The dignity of the king is in the multitude of (his) people; and the shame of a prince is in the fewness of (his) people.

²⁹He that is patient, is governed by much wisdom; but he that is unpatient, enhanceth his folly.

³⁰(The) Health of (the) heart is the life of (the) flesh; envy is (the) rot of (the) bones.

³¹He that falsely challengeth a needy man, despiseth his maker; but he that hath mercy on a poor man, honoureth his maker. (He who oppresseth the needy, despiseth his Maker; but he who hath mercy on the poor, honoureth his Maker.)

³²A wicked man is put out for his malice; but a just man hopeth in his death. (A wicked person is brought down by his own malice; but a righteous person hath hope in his death.)

³³Wisdom resteth in the heart of a wise man; and he shall teach all unlearned men. (Wisdom resteth in the hearts of the wise; and they shall teach all the unlearned.)

³⁴Rightfulness raiseth up a folk; sin maketh peoples wretches. (Uprightness raiseth up the nation; sin maketh people into wretches.)
