Proverbs 14:33

Verse 33 of 35. The 14th of 31 chapters in Proverbs, in Poetry and Wisdom.

29He who is slow to anger has great understanding, but he who has a quick temper displays folly.

30The life of the body is a heart at peace, but envy rots the bones.

31He who oppresses the poor shows contempt for his Maker, but he who is kind to the needy honors him.

32The wicked is brought down in his calamity, but in death, the righteous has a refuge.

33Wisdom rests in the heart of one who has understanding, and is even made known in the inward part of fools.

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

35The king’s favor is toward a servant who deals wisely, but his wrath is toward one who causes shame.
