20 A poor person is disliked even by his neighbors,but those who love the rich are many.
21 The one who despises his neighbor sins,but whoever is kind to the needy is blessed.
22 Do not those who devise evil go astray?But those who plan good exhibit faithful covenant love.
23 In all hard work there is profit,but merely talking about it only brings poverty.
24 The crown of the wise is their riches,but the folly of fools is folly.
25 A truthful witness rescues lives,but the one who breathes lies brings deception.
26 In the fear of the Lord one has strong confidence,and it will be a refuge for his children.
