Proverbs 14:20-22
The Voice

20 The poor are hated even by their own neighbors,
    but the rich are loved by many friends.
21 Those who have contempt for their neighbors are sinners,
    but those who are kind to the poor are happy.
22 Don’t those who work evil stray from the truth?
    Those who plan goodness experience unfailing love and faithfulness.
