Proverbs 14:20-24

²⁰Friends will hate poor friends; But the friends of the rich are many.

²¹He that dishonors the needy sins: But he that has pity on the poor is most blessed.

²²They that go astray devise evils: But the good devise mercy and truth. The framers of evil do not understand mercy and truth: But compassion and faithfulness are with the framers of good.

²³With everyone who is careful there is abundance: But the pleasure taking and indolent shall be in want.

²⁴A prudent man is the crown of the wise: But the occupation of fools is evil.
