Proverbs 14:20-28
New International Version
20 The poor are shunned even by their neighbors,
but the rich have many friends.(A)
22 Do not those who plot evil go astray?(D)
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.
24 The wealth of the wise is their crown,
but the folly of fools yields folly.(E)
25 A truthful witness saves lives,
but a false witness is deceitful.(F)
28 A large population is a king’s glory,
but without subjects a prince is ruined.(K)
