31 Whoever oppresses the poor insults his maker, 

but whoever is kind to the needy honors him. 

32 A wicked person is thrown down by his own wrongdoing, 

but even in his death a righteous person has a refuge.

but he who has mercy on the poor honors him.

32 By his evildoing, the wicked will be overthrown,

and the righteous will find refuge in his death.

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.

32 When trouble comes, sinners are brought down.

But godly people have a safe place even when they die.

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.

32 The wicked is thrust down by his wrongdoing,

But the righteous has a refuge when he dies.
