³⁴Righteousness exalts a nation,^(A)
but sin condemns any people.

But when the wicked are in power, they groan.

²When the righteous thrive, the people rejoice;^(A)
when the wicked rule,^(B) the people groan.^(C)

But whoever obeys the law is joyful.

but blessed is the one who heeds wisdom’s instruction.^(A)
