Proverbs 14:20-22
International Standard Version

20 The poor person is shunned by his neighbor,
    but many are the friends of the wealthy.
21 Whoever despises his neighbor sins,
    but whoever shows kindness to the poor will be happy.

22 Won’t those who plot evil go astray?
    But gracious love and truth are for those who plan what is good.
