Proverbs 14:19-25

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.
