31 Those who oppress the poor revile their Maker,
but those who are kind to the needy honor him.(A)

but the just find a refuge in their integrity.

but among fools she must make herself known.[a](B)

- 14:33 Wisdom can remain silent in a wise person as a welcome friend. But it must speak out among fools, for the dissonance is so strong.
