35 A king delights in a wise servant, but a shameful servant arouses his fury.
35 The king's favour is toward a wise servant: but his wrath is against him that causeth shame.
35 A servant who deals wisely has the king's favor, but his wrath falls on one who acts shamefully.
35 Diligent work gets a warm commendation; shiftless work earns an angry rebuke.
35 The king's favor is toward a wise servant, But his wrath is against him who causes shame.
35 A king rejoices in wise servants but is angry with those who disgrace him.

The great King who reigns over heaven and earth, will reward faithful servants who honour his gospel by the proper discharge of the duties of their stations: he despises not the services of the lowest.
