Proverbs 14:33-35

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

³³ Wisdom rests [silently] in the mind and heart of him who has understanding, but that which is in the inward part of [self-confident] fools is made known.^(A)

³⁴ Uprightness and right standing with God (moral and spiritual rectitude in every area and relation) elevate a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people.

³⁵ The king’s favor is toward a wise and discreet servant, but his wrath is against him who does shamefully.^(B)
