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.
23 In every work, there shall be abundance. But where there are many words, there is often need.
24 The crown of the wise is their wealth. The senselessness of the foolish is imprudence.
