Context of Proverbs 14:32
30A tranquil heart is life to the body, But passion is rottenness to the bones. 31He who oppresses the poor taunts his Maker, But he who is gracious to the needy honors Him. The wicked is thrust down by his wrongdoing, But the righteous has a refuge when he dies. 33Wisdom rests in the heart of one who has understanding, But in the hearts of fools it is made known. 34Righteousness exalts a nation, But sin is a disgrace to any people.

Commentaries on Proverbs 14:32
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 32The wicked is driven away in his wickedness - He does not leave life cheerfully. Poor soul! Thou hast no hope in the other world, and thou leavest the present with the utmost regret! Thou wilt not go off; but God will drive thee. But the righteous hath hope in his death - He rejoiceth to depart and be with Christ: to him death is gain; he is not reluctant to go - he flies at the call of God.Read the comment
