18The simple inherit folly; But the prudent are crowned with knowledge.
19The evil bow before the good; Yea, the wicked at the gates of the righteous.
20The poor is hated even by his own neighbor; But the rich hath many friends.
21He who despiseth his neighbor sinneth; But happy is he who hath mercy on the poor.
22Do not they who devise evil fail of their end? But they who devise good meet with kindness and truth.
