20A man worthy of credit shall be much blessed: but the wicked shall not be unpunished.
21He that reverences not the persons of the just is not good: such a one will sell a man for a morsel of bread.
22An envious man makes haste to be rich, and knows not that the merciful man will have the mastery over him.
23He that reproves a man's ways shall have more favor than he that flatters with the tongue.
24He that casts off father or mother, and thinks he sins not; the same is partaker with an ungodly man.
25An unbelieving man judges rashly: but he that trusts in the Lord will act carefully.
26He that trusts to a bold heart, such an one is a fool: but he that walks in wisdom shall be safe.
27He that gives to the poor shall not be in lack: but he that turns away his eye from him shall be in great distress.
28In the places of ungodly men the righteous mourn: but in their destruction the righteous shall be multiplied.
