18 The simple inherit folly, But the prudent are crowned with knowledge.
19 The evil bow down before the good, And the wicked, at the gates of the righteous.
20 The poor person is shunned even by his own neighbor, But the rich person has many friends.
21 He who despises his neighbor sins, But blessed is he who has pity on the poor.
22 Don`t they go astray who plot evil? But love and faithfulness belong to those who plan good.
23 In all hard work there is profit, But the talk of the lips leads only to poverty.
24 The crown of the wise is their riches, But the folly of fools crowns them with folly.
