Proverbs 14:32

JusticeHopeDeath and loss

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

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

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.

34 Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a disgrace to any people.
