Proverbs 14:32-34
The Voice
32 The wicked are waylaid by their evil actions,
but the right-living find hope’s sanctuary even in their death.[a]
33 Wisdom rests in the heart of one with insight
and can even be experienced by fools.
34 Living according to God’s instructions makes a nation great,
but sin colors those who commit it with disgrace.
