Proverbs 14:17-21

¹⁷A man unpatient shall work folly; and a guileful man is odious. (An impatient person will act foolishly; and a deceitful person is odious.)

¹⁸Little men of wit shall hold folly; and fell men shall abide knowing. (People of little wit, or of low intelligence, shall hold fast to foolishness; but clever people shall gain understanding.)

¹⁹Evil men shall lie (down) before good men; and unpious men before the gates of just men. (Evil people shall lie down before good people; and the wicked shall bow before the gates of the righteous.)

²⁰A poor man shall be (thought) hateful, yea, (even) to his neighbour; but many men be (the) friends of rich men.

²¹He that despiseth his neighbour, doeth sin; but he that doeth mercy to a poor man, shall be blessed.
