17He that is soon angry committeth folly; and a man of wicked devices is hated.
18The simple inherit folly; but the prudent crown themselves with knowledge.
19The bad sink down before the good; and the wicked are at the gates of the righteous.
20Even to his own neighbor is the poor man hateful; but the friends of the rich are many.
21He that despiseth his neighbor is a sinner; but he that is gracious to the poor—happiness attend him!
22Behold, those who contrive evil are in error; but kindness and truth attend on those who contrive what is good.
23In all painful labor there is profit; but mere words of the lips lead only to want.
24The crown of the wise is their riches; but the folly of fools is only folly.
25A deliverer of souls is the true witness; but a witness of deceit uttereth lies.
