17. What fellowship shall the wolf have with the lamb? So is the sinner to the godly.
18. What peace is there between the hyena and the dog? And what peace between the rich man and the poor?
19. Wild asses are the prey of lions in the wilderness; So poor men are pasture for the rich.
20. Lowliness is an abomination to a proud man; So a poor man is an abomination to the rich.
21. A rich man when he is shaken is held up of his friends; But one of low degree being down is thrust away also by his friends.
22. When a rich man is fallen, there are many helpers; He speaks things not to be spoken, and men justify him: A man of low degree falls, and men rebuke him withal; He utters wisdom, and no place is allowed him.
23. A rich man speaks, and all keep silence; And what he says they extol to the clouds: A poor man speaks, and they say, Who is this? And if he stumble, they will help to overthrow him.
24. Riches are good that have no sin; And poverty is evil in the mouth of the ungodly.
25. The heart of a man changes his countenance, Whether it be for good or for evil.
26. A cheerful countenance is a token of a heart that is in prosperity; And the finding out of parables is a weariness of thinking.
