28. In the multitude of a people [is] the honour of a king, And in lack of people the ruin of a prince.
29. Whoso is slow to anger [is] of great understanding, And whoso is short in temper is exalting folly.
30. A healed heart [is] life to the flesh, And rottenness to the bones [is] envy.
31. An oppressor of the poor reproacheth his Maker, And whoso is honouring Him Is favouring the needy.
32. In his wickedness is the wicked driven away, And trustful in his death [is] the righteous.
33. In the heart of the intelligent wisdom doth rest. And in the midst of fools it is known.
34. Righteousness exalteth a nation, And the goodliness of peoples [is] a sin-offering.
35. The favour of a king [is] to a wise servant, And an object of his wrath is one causing shame!
