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 is gracious unto the humble, happy is he.
22Shall they not go astray that devise evil? But mercy and truth shall be for 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 folly of fools remaineth folly.
25A true witness delivereth souls; but he that breatheth forth lies is all deceit.
26In the fear of the LORD a man hath strong confidence; and his children shall have a place of refuge.
27The fear of the LORD is a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death.
28In the multitude of people is the king's glory; but in the want of people is the ruin of the prince.
