17 A short-tempered person acts stupidly,and a person who plots evil is hated.
18 Gullible people are gifted with stupidity,but sensible people are crowned with knowledge.
19 Evil people will bow to good people.Wicked people will bow at the gates of a righteous person.
20 A poor person is hated even by his neighbor,but a rich person is loved by many.
21 Whoever despises his neighbor sins,but blessed is the one who is kind to humble people.
22 Don’t those who stray plan what is evil,while those who are merciful and faithful plan what is good?
23 In hard work there is always something gained,but idle talk leads only to poverty.
