29Hee that is slow to wrath, is of great vnderstanding: but hee that is hasty of spirit, exalteth folly. 30A sound heart, is the life of the flesh: but enuie, the rottennesse of the bones. 31Hee that oppresseth the poore, reprocheth his Maker: but hee that honoureth him, hath mercy on the poore. 32The wicked is driuen away in his wickednes: but the righteous hath hope in his death. 33Wisedome resteth in the heart of him that hath vnderstanding: but that which is in the midst of fooles, is made knowen.
