Proverbs 14:20-22
Contemporary English Version

20 You have no friends
    if you are poor,
but you have lots of friends
    if you are rich.
21 It's wrong to hate others,
but God blesses everyone
    who is kind to the poor.
22 It's a mistake
    to make evil plans,
but you will have loyal friends
    if you want to do right.
