Expanded Bible

²⁰ The poor are ·rejected [hated], even by their neighbors,
but the rich have many friends [^Cperhaps an ironic reference to fair-weather friends].

²¹ It is a sin to ·hate [despise] your neighbor,
but being ·kind [gracious] to the needy brings ·happiness [a blessing].

²² ·Those [^LDo not those…?] who make evil plans ·will be ruined [^Lwander aimlessly],
but those who plan to do good will ·be loved and trusted [receive loyalty and faithfulness].
