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.
23In all labour there is profit: But the talk of the lips tendeth only to penury.
24The crown of the wise is their riches: But the foolishness of fools is folly.
