Proverbs 14:29–31

29 Whoever is patient has great understanding,

but one who is quick-tempered displays folly.

30 A heart at peace gives life to the body,

but envy rots the bones.

31 Whoever oppresses the poor shows contempt for their Maker,

but whoever is kind to the needy honors God.

29 He that is slow to wrath is of great understanding:

But he that is hasty of spirit exalteth folly.

30 A sound heart is the life of the flesh:

But envy the rottenness of the bones.

31 He that oppresseth the poor reproacheth his Maker:

But he that honoureth him hath mercy on the poor.

29 People with understanding control their anger;

a hot temper shows great foolishness.

30 A peaceful heart leads to a healthy body;

jealousy is like cancer in the bones.

31 Those who oppress the poor insult their Maker,

but helping the poor honors him.

29 He who is slow to wrath has great understanding,

But he who is impulsive exalts folly.

30 A sound heart is life to the body,

But envy is rottenness to the bones.

31 He who oppresses the poor reproaches his Maker,

But he who honors Him has mercy on the needy.

29 Patient people have great understanding,

but people with quick tempers show their foolishness.

30 Peace of mind means a healthy body,

but jealousy will rot your bones.

31 Whoever mistreats the poor insults their Maker,

but whoever is kind to the needy honors God.

29 He that is slow to anger is of great understanding;

But he that is hasty of spirit exalteth folly.

30 A tranquil heart is the life of the flesh;

But envy is the rottenness of the bones.

31 He that oppresseth the poor reproacheth his Maker;

But he that hath mercy on the needy honoreth him.

29 He that is slow to anger is of great understanding; but he that is hasty of spirit exalteth folly.

30 A sound heart is the life of the flesh; but envy the rottenness of the bones.

31 He that oppresseth the poor reproacheth his Maker; but he that honoureth Him is gracious to the needy.

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. 

29 A patient person shows great understanding,

but a quick-tempered one promotes foolishness.

30 A tranquil heart is life to the body,

but jealousy is rottenness to the bones.

31 The one who oppresses the poor person insults his Maker,

but one who is kind to the needy honors Him.

29 Whoever is slow to anger has great understanding,

but one who has a hasty temper exalts folly.

30 A tranquil mind gives life to the flesh,

but jealousy makes the bones rot.

31 Those who oppress the poor insult their Maker,

but those who are kind to the needy honor him.

29 He who is slow to anger has great understanding,

but the hasty of spirit exalts folly.

30 A heart of tranquility is life to the flesh,

but causes bones of passion to rot.

31 He who oppresses the poor insults him who made him,

but he who has mercy on the poor honors him.

29 Anyone who is patient has great understanding.

But anyone who gets angry quickly shows how foolish he is.

30 A peaceful heart gives life to the body.

But jealousy rots the bones.

31 Anyone who crushes poor people makes fun of their Maker.

But anyone who is kind to those in need honors God.

29 He who is slow to anger has great understanding,

But he who is quick-tempered exalts folly.

30 A tranquil heart is life to the body,

But passion is rottenness to the bones.

31 He who oppresses the poor taunts his Maker,

But he who is gracious to the needy honors Him.
