3 No good comes to those who give comfort to the wicked,nor is it an act of mercy that they do.
4 Give to the good but refuse the sinner;
5 refresh the downtrodden but give nothing to the proud.No arms for combat should you give them,lest they use these against you;Twofold evil you will obtain for every good deed you do for them.
6 For God also hates sinners,and takes vengeance on evildoers.
8 In prosperity we cannot know our friends;in adversity an enemy will not remain concealed.
9 When one is successful even an enemy is friendly;but in adversity even a friend disappears.
10 Never trust your enemies,for their wickedness is like corrosion in bronze.
