28. In the multitude of people is a king’s honor,but in the lack of people is the destruction of a prince.

29. He who is slow to wrath is of great understanding,but he who is hasty of spirit exalts folly.

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

31. He who oppresses the poor reproaches his Maker,but he who honors Him has mercy on the poor.
