Proverbs 14:31-35 American Standard Version (ASV)

31. He that oppresseth the poor reproacheth his Maker; But he that hath mercy on the needy honoreth him.

32. The wicked is thrust down in his evil-doing; But the righteous hath a refuge in his death.

33. Wisdom resteth in the heart of him that hath understanding; But that which is in the inward part of fools is made known.

34. Righteousness exalteth a nation; But sin is a reproach to any people.

35. The king’s favor is toward a servant that dealeth wisely; But his wrath will be against him that causeth shame.
