14The backslider in heart shall be filled with his own ways: And a good man shall be satisfied from himself.
15The simple believeth every word: But the prudent man looketh well to his going.
16A wise man feareth, and departeth from evil: But the fool rageth, and is confident.
17He that is soon angry dealeth foolishly: And a man of wicked devices is hated.
18The simple inherit folly: But the prudent are crowned with knowledge.
19The evil bow before the good; And the wicked at the gates of the righteous.
20The poor is hated even of his own neighbour: But the rich hath many friends.
21He that despiseth his neighbour sinneth: But he that hath mercy on the poor, happy is he.
22Do they not err that devise evil? But mercy and truth shall be to them that devise good.
