29 He that is slow to wrath is of great understanding: but he that is hasty of spirit exalteth folly.

Once there was a thief named Jar, he was always after Friar's treasure.  Friar was slow to anger and was always aware of Jar's attempts on his treasure, each time Jar would be thrown out of the castle when he made a fooled attempt.  Friar would have several traps set up ahead of time to catch him, because of Jar's quick temper he was always caught.
One night in particular Friar set up a set of wooden spikes at the window seal to catch Jar's clothing as he crept in the window, knowing that he would become frustrated and rip his clothes thus running into a pile of pans hidden under a black cloth a few steps ahead.
Just as planned that night Jar crept up the wall and crawled into the window, where he snagged his clothes on the wooden spikes.  After he was unable unhook it he grabbed his shirt and tugged with such a force he stumbled a few feet ahead and fell into the pans making a loud clanging noise.  The guards then rushed in and caught him, Friar just laughed at Jar's foolishness as he tossed him out yet again.

30 A sound heart is the life of the flesh: but envy the rottenness of the bones.

A laid back relaxed attitude of no worries, no problems will expand your life span many years, while envy and jealousy will shorten it.

31 He that oppresseth the poor reproacheth his Maker: but he that honoureth him have mercy on the poor.

There was a sweat shop owner in a third world country, he would use child labor and pay his poor workers very little.  Day after day he would make them work long hours and with little rest.  When he died he was not let into heaven for he was to mean to Gods creations.
"Why did you treat God's people like animals?" asked the angels.  "Why did you treat them less than humans?"
Another factory owner, in the same third world country, treated his workers well he paid them their wages for their days work and they did not suffer under his work conditions.  When they were hungry he fed them, when they were tired he gave them a break, when they needed time off he gave it to them freely.  When he came to enter the gates of heaven he was led directly in.
