18. The simple have folly as an adornment,but the shrewd wear knowledge as a crown.
19. The malicious bow down before the good,and the wicked, at the gates of the just.
20. Even by their neighbors the poor are despised,but a rich person’s friends are many.
21. Whoever despises the hungry comes up short,but happy the one who is kind to the poor!
22. Do not those who plan evil go astray?But those who plan good win steadfast loyalty.
23. In all labor there is profit,but mere talk tends only to loss.
24. The crown of the wise is wealth;the diadem of fools is folly.
