Proverbs

²⁰The poor is hated even of his own neighbour: but the rich hath many friends. ²¹He that despiseth his neighbour sinneth: but he that hath pity on the poor, happy is he. ²²Do they not err that devise evil? but mercy and truth shall be to 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 is only folly. ²⁵A true witness delivereth souls: but he that uttereth lies causeth deceit. ²⁶In the fear of the LORD is strong confidence: and his children shall have a place of refuge.
