31. He who oppresses the poor taunts his Maker, But he who is gracious to the needy honors Him.
32. The wicked is thrust down by his wrongdoing, But the righteous has a refuge when he dies.
33. Wisdom rests in the heart of one who has understanding, But in the hearts of fools it is made known.
34. Righteousness exalts a nation, But sin is a disgrace to any people.
35. The king's favor is toward a servant who acts wisely, But his anger is toward him who acts shamefully.
