19The evil bow down before the good, and the wicked at the gates of the righteous.
20The poor person is shunned even by his own neighbour, but the rich person has many friends.
21He who despises his neighbour sins, but he who has pity on the poor is blessed.
22Don’t they go astray who plot evil? But love and faithfulness belong to those who plan good.
23In all hard work there is profit, but the talk of the lips leads only to poverty.
24The crown of the wise is their riches, but the folly of fools crowns them with folly.
25A truthful witness saves souls, but a false witness is deceitful.
