Proverbs 14:21-23

Lexham English Bible

²¹ He who despises his neighbor is a sinner,
    but he who has mercy on the poor blesses him.
²² Have they not erred, those who plan evil?
    But loyalty and faithfulness belong to those who plan good.
²³ In all toil, there is profit,
    but the talk^[a] of lips leads only to poverty.
