21 He who despises his neighbor sins,but he who has mercy on the poor, happy is he.
22 Do they not err who devise evil?But mercy and truth will be to those who devise good.
23 In all labor there is profit,but mere talk leads only to poverty.
24 The crown of the wise is their riches,but the foolishness of fools is folly.
25 A true witness delivers souls,but a deceitful witness speaks lies.
26 In the fear of the Lord is strong confidence,and His children will have a place of refuge.
27 The fear of the Lord is a fountain of life,to depart from the snares of death.
