Proverbs 14:20-23

New International Version - UK

²⁰ The poor are shunned even by their neighbours,
    but the rich have many friends.

²¹ It is a sin to despise one’s neighbour,
    but blessed is the one who is kind to the needy.

²² Do not those who plot evil go astray?
    But those who plan what is good find^[a] love and faithfulness.

²³ All hard work brings a profit,
    but mere talk leads only to poverty.
