Proverbs 14:34

The Scriptures 1998

Righteousness exalts a nation, But sin is a reproach to peoples.

See the chapter Copy

A land of fruit becomes a salty desert, For the evil of those who dwell in it.

When Ephrayim spoke there was trembling, he was lifted up in Yisra’ĕ

Wisdom rests in the heart of him who has understanding, And even among fools it becomes known.

The sovereign’s delight is toward a wise servant, But his wrath is towards him who causes shame.

For יהוה had brought Yehuḏ

A sovereign establishes a land by right-ruling, But one who receives bribes throws it down.
