30 A sound heart is life to the body,
But ^aenvy is ^brottenness to the bones.

31 ^aHe who oppresses the poor reproaches ^bhis Maker,
But he who honors Him has mercy on the needy.

32 The wicked is banished in his wickedness,
But ^athe righteous has a refuge in his death.

33 Wisdom rests in the heart of him who has understanding,
But ^awhat is in the heart of fools is made known.

34 Righteousness exalts a ^anation,
But sin is a¹ reproach to any people.

Proverbs 14:32

The wicked is driven away in his wickedness - He does not leave life cheerfully. Poor soul! Thou hast no hope in the other world, and thou leavest the present with the utmost regret! Thou wilt not go off; but God will drive thee.

But the righteous hath hope in his death - He rejoiceth to depart and be with Christ: to him death is gain; he is not reluctant to go - he flies at the call of God.
