Proverbs 14:31-33 World English Bible (WEB)

31 He who oppresses the poor shows contempt for his Maker,
    but he who is kind to the needy honors him.
32 The wicked is brought down in his calamity,
    but in death, the righteous has a refuge.
33 Wisdom rests in the heart of one who has understanding,
    and is even made known in the inward part of fools.
