Proverbs 14:30-32
International Standard Version

30 A tranquil mind brings life to one’s body,
    but jealousy causes one’s bones to rot.

31 Whoever oppresses the poor defies their Creator,
    but whoever is kind to the needy honors them.
32 The wicked person is thrown down by his own wrongdoing,
    but the righteous person has a place of safety in death.[a]
