In context
18 The simple have inherited folly, And the prudent are crowned with knowledge.
19 The evil have bowed down before the good, And the wicked at the gates of the righteous.
20 Even of his neighbour is the poor hated, And those loving the rich are many.
21 Whoso is despising his neighbour sinneth, Whoso is favouring the humble, O his happiness.
22 Do not they err who are devising evil? And kindness and truth are to those devising good,
23 In all labour there is advantage, And a thing of the lips is only to want.
24 The crown of the wise is their wealth, The folly of fools is folly.
