Proverbs 14:18-20
Wycliffe Bible
18 Little men of wit shall hold folly; and fell men shall abide knowing. (People of little wit, or of low intelligence, shall hold fast to foolishness; but clever people shall gain understanding.)
19 Evil men shall lie (down) before good men; and unpious men before the gates of just men. (Evil people shall lie down before good people; and the wicked shall bow before the gates of the righteous.)
20 A poor man shall be (thought) hateful, yea, (even) to his neighbour; but many men be (the) friends of rich men.
