Proverbs 14:20-22

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²⁰ The poor man shall be hateful even to his own neighbour: but the friends of the rich are many.

²¹ He that despiseth his neighbour, sinneth: but he that sheweth mercy to the poor, shall be blessed. He that believeth in the Lord, loveth mercy.

²² They err that work evil: but mercy and truth prepare good things.
