Proverbs 14:22 - Forerunner Commentary

Proverbs 14:22

20 ^aThe poor man is hated even by his own neighbor,
But¹ the rich has many ^bfriends.

21 He who despises his neighbor sins;
^aBut he who has mercy on the poor, happy is he.

22 Do they not go astray who devise evil?
But mercy and truth belong to those who devise good.

23 In all labor there is profit,
But¹ idle chatter leads only to poverty.

24 The crown of the wise is their riches,
But the foolishness of fools is folly.
