Common English Bible

31 Those who exploit the powerless anger their maker,
    while those who are kind to the poor honor God.
32 The wicked are thrown down by their own evil,
    but the righteous find refuge even in death.
33 Wisdom resides in an understanding heart,
    but it’s not[a] known in fools.
