[16] A wise man feareth, and departeth from evil: but the fool rageth, and is confident. [17] He that is soon angry dealeth foolishly: and a man of wicked devices is hated. [18] The simple inherit folly: but the prudent are crowned with knowledge. [19] The evil bow before the good; and the wicked at the gates of the righteous. [20] The poor is hated even of his own neighbour: but the rich hath many friends. [21] He that despiseth his neighbour sinneth: but he that hath mercy happy is he. [22] Do they not err that devise evil? but mercy and truth shall be to them that devise good.
