31 He that oppresseth6231 the poor1800 reproacheth2778 his Maker:6213 but he that honoreth3513 him hath mercy2603 on the poor.34

32 The wicked7563 is driven away1760 in his wickedness:7451 but the righteous6662 hath hope2620 in his death.4194

33 Wisdom2451 resteth5117 in the heart3820 of him that hath understanding:995 but that which is in the midst7130 of fools3684 is made known.3045

34 Righteousness6666 exalteth7311 a nation:1471 but sin2403 is a reproach2617 to any people.3816
