¹⁷ Kind people do themselves a favor,
    but cruel people bring trouble on themselves.

¹⁰ Good people take care of their animals,
    but even the kindest acts of the wicked are cruel.

²¹ It is a sin to hate your neighbor,
    but being kind to the needy brings happiness.

¹⁷ Being kind to the poor is like lending to the Lord;
    he will reward you for what you have done.

¹³ Whoever ignores the poor when they cry for help
    will also cry for help and not be answered.
