Proverbs 14:18-20

New Century Version

¹⁸ Fools are rewarded with nothing but more foolishness,
    but the wise are rewarded with knowledge.

¹⁹ Evil people will bow down to those who are good;
    the wicked will bow down at the door of those who do right.

²⁰ The poor are rejected, even by their neighbors,
    but the rich have many friends.
