Proverbs 14:31

²⁹ A patient man has great understanding, but a quick-tempered man promotes folly.

³⁰ A tranquil heart is life to the body, but envy rots the bones.

Whoever oppresses the poor taunts their Maker, but whoever is kind to the needy honors Him.

³² The wicked man is thrown down by his own sin, but the righteous man has a refuge even in death.

³³ Wisdom rests in the heart of the discerning; even among fools she is known.
