Verse 35 is found in chapter 14 of Proverbs. These proverbs bring together mercy toward the poor, work, self-control, and the responsibility of rulers. Despising one’s neighbor is sin, while showing compassion to the needy is presented as a form of honor. Being slow to anger demonstrates understanding, and diligence supports leadership. The fear of the Lord again appears as a source of security and as a principle that sustains an orderly community.

Ein kluger Knecht gefällt dem König wohl; aber einem schändlichen Knecht ist er feind.
La benevolencia del rey es para con el ministro entendido: Mas su enojo contra el que lo avergüenza.
El favor del rey es para el siervo prudente, pero su ira es para quien causa vergüenza.
La faveur du roi est pour le serviteur prudent, Et sa colère pour celui qui fait honte.
Il favor del re è verso il servitore intendente; Ma la sua indegnazione è contro a quello che reca vituperio
O rei se alegra no servo prudente, mas sobre o que o envergonha cairá o seu furor.
君王的恩寵臨到智慧的臣僕; 但其憤怒臨到蒙羞的臣僕。
