Happy is the man that feareth alway: but he that hardeneth his heart shall fall into mischief.

Verse 14 is found in chapter 28 of Proverbs. The rich may consider themselves wise in their own eyes, but the discerning poor person may understand their condition better. Confession of sin is again presented as a path to mercy. The passage condemns both oppression of the poor and corruption motivated by unjust gain. The conclusion establishes a contrast between walking with integrity and following crooked paths, linking integrity with stability.

Wohl dem, der sich allewege fürchtet; wer aber sein Herz verhärtet, wird in Unglück fallen.
Bienaventurado el hombre que siempre está temeroso: Mas el que endurece su corazón, caerá en mal.
Dichoso el hombre que siempre teme, pero quien endurece su corazón caerá en la desgracia.
Heureux l'homme qui est continuellement dans la crainte! Mais celui qui endurcit son coeur tombe dans le malheur.
Beato l’uomo che si spaventa del continuo; Ma chi indura il suo cuore caderà nel male
Bem-aventurado o homem que continuamente teme; mas o que endurece o seu coração cairá no mal.
常存敬畏的,這人有福了; 心裏剛硬的,必陷在禍患裏。
