18 The childish will possess foolishness, and the discerning will anticipate knowledge.
19 The evil will fall down before the good. And the impious will fall down before the gates of the just.
20 The pauper will be hated, even by his own neighbor. Yet truly, the friends of the wealthy are many.
21 Whoever despises his neighbor, sins. But whoever pities the poor shall be blessed. Whoever trusts in the Lord loves mercy.
22 They wander astray who work evil. But mercy and truth prepare good things.
