Proverbs 14:30-34

New American Standard Bible 1995

³⁰ A ^(A)tranquil heart is life to the body,
But passion is ^(B)rottenness to the bones.
³¹ He ^(C)who oppresses the poor taunts ^(D)his Maker,
But he who is gracious to the needy honors Him.
³² The wicked is ^(E)thrust down by his ^[a]wrongdoing,
But the ^(F)righteous has a refuge when he dies.
³³ Wisdom rests in the heart of one who has understanding,
But in the ^[b]hearts of fools it is made known.
³⁴ Righteousness exalts a nation,
But sin is a disgrace to any people.
