Proverbs 14:20-25 American Standard Version (ASV)

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.

23. In all labor there is profit; But the talk of the lips tendeth only to penury.

24. The crown of the wise is their riches; But the folly of fools is only folly.

25. A true witness delivereth souls; But he that uttereth lies causeth deceit.
