Proverbs 14:20-22

New Living Translation

²⁰The poor are despised even by their neighbors,
while the rich have many “friends.”

²¹It is a sin to belittle one’s neighbor;
blessed are those who help the poor.

²²If you plan to do evil, you will be lost;
if you plan to do good, you will receive unfailing love and faithfulness.
