New King James Version

Proverbs 14:31-35 New King James Version (NKJV)

31. He who oppresses the poor reproaches his Maker,But he who honors Him has mercy on the needy.

32. The wicked is banished in his wickedness,But the righteous has a refuge in his death.

33. Wisdom rests in the heart of him who has understanding,But what is in the heart of fools is made known.

34. Righteousness exalts a nation,But sin is a reproach to any people.

35. The king’s favor is toward a wise servant,But his wrath is against him who causes shame.
