17 Whoso is short of temper doth folly, And a man of wicked devices is hated.
18 The simple have inherited folly, And the prudent are crowned 'with' knowledge.
19 The evil have bowed down before the good, And the wicked at the gates of the righteous.
20 Even of his neighbour is the poor hated, And those loving the rich 'are' many.
21 Whoso is despising his neighbour sinneth, Whoso is favouring the humble, O his happiness.
