17Those who quickly become angry IDM do foolish things; people hate those who plan to do wicked things (OR, those who have good sense remain calm/patient).
18Foolish people get what they deserve for doing foolish things; those with good sense are rewarded MET by being able to learn a lot.
19Some day evil people will bow down in front of righteous people to show that they respect them; they will humbly stand at the gates of the houses of righteous people and request their help.
20No one likes poor people; even their friends/neighbors do not like them; rich people have many friends, but only while the rich people still have money.
21It is sinful to despise your poor neighbors; God is pleased with those who do kind things for the poor.
22Those who plan to do things that are evil/wrong are walking on the wrong road; people faithfully love, respect and are loyal to those who plan to do what is good.
23If you work hard, you will ◄accomplish something good/get a good income►, but if all you do is to talk and not work, you will remain poor.
24One of the rewards MET of being wise is to become rich; the reward of acting foolishly is to become more foolish.
