16 A wise man feareth, and departeth from evil:but the fool rageth, and is confident.
17 He that is soon angry dealeth foolishly:and a man of wicked devices is hated.
18 The simple inherit folly:but the prudent are crowned with knowledge.
19 The evil bow before the good;and the wicked at the gates of the righteous.
20 The poor is hated even of his own neighbor:but the rich hath many friends.
21 He that despiseth his neighbor sinneth:but he that hath mercy on the poor, happy is he.
22 Do they not err that devise evil?But mercy and truth shall be to them that devise good.
