17. He that is soon angry will deal foolishly; And a man of wicked devices is hated.
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 is hated even of his own neighbor; But the rich hath many friends.
21. He that despiseth his neighbor sinneth; But he that hath pity on the poor, happy is he.
22. Do they not err that devise evil? But mercy and truth shall be to them that devise good.
