29. A person of great understanding is patient,but a short temper is the height of stupidity.

30. A tranquil heart makes for a healthy body,but jealousy is ⌊like⌋ bone cancer.

31. Whoever oppresses the poor insults his maker,but whoever is kind to the needy honors him.

32. A wicked person is thrown down by his own wrongdoing,but even in his death a righteous person has a refuge.

33. Wisdom finds rest in the heart of an understanding person.Even fools recognize this.

34. Righteousness lifts up a nation,but sin is a disgrace in any society.

35. A king is delighted with a servant who acts wisely,but he is furious with one who acts shamefully.
