Proverbs 14:34

Catholic Public Domain Version

Justice elevates a nation. But sin makes the peoples miserable.

See the chapter Copy

For the Lord had humbled Judah because of Ahaz, the king of Judah, since he had stripped it of help, and had shown contempt for the Lord.

In the heart of the prudent, wisdom finds rest. And so shall he instruct all the uneducated.

An intelligent minister is acceptable to the king. Whoever is useless shall bear his wrath.

A just king guides the land. A man of avarice will destroy it.

While Ephraim was speaking, a horror entered Israel, and he offended by Baal, and he died.
