21He that despiseth his neighbour sinneth: but he that hath mercy on the poor, happy he.
22Do they not err that devise evil? but mercy and truth to them that devise good.
23In all labour there is profit: but the talk of the lips only to penury.
24The crown of the wise is their riches: the foolishness of fools folly.
25A true witness delivereth souls: but a deceitful speaketh lies.
26In the fear of the LORD strong confidence: and his children shall have a place of refuge.
