Proverbs 14:18-20

New International Reader's Version

¹⁸ Childish people act in keeping with their foolish ways.
    But knowledge makes wise people feel like kings.

¹⁹ Evil people will bow down in front of good people.
    And those who do wrong will bow down at the gates of those who do right.

²⁰ Poor people are avoided even by their neighbors.
    But rich people have many friends.
