33 Wisdom (A)rests in the heart of a man of understanding,
    but it makes itself known even in the midst of fools.[a]
34 Righteousness exalts a nation,
    but sin is a reproach to any people.
35 A servant who deals wisely has (B)the king's favor,
    but his wrath falls on one who acts shamefully.
