Proverbs 14:20-29
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 14
20
The poor is hated even by his neighbor,
But those who love the rich are many.
21
One who despises his neighbor sins,
But one who is gracious to the poor is blessed.
22
Will they who devise evil not go astray?
But kindness and truth
will be to
those who devise good.
23
In all labor there is profit,
But mere talk
leads
only to poverty.
24
The crown of the wise is their riches,
But
the foolishness of fools is
simply
foolishness.
25
A truthful witness saves lives,
But one
who
declares lies
is
deceitful.
26
In the fear of the
Lord
there is strong confidence,
And his children will have refuge.
27
The fear of the
Lord
is a fountain of life,
By which
one may avoid the snares of death.
28
In a multitude of people is a king’s glory,
But in the scarcity of people is a prince’s ruin.
29
One who is slow to anger has great understanding;
But one who is quick-tempered exalts foolishness.
King James Version
Chapter 14
20
The poor is hated even of his own neighbour: but the rich hath many friends.
21
He that despiseth his neighbour sinneth: but he that hath mercy on the poor, happy is he.
22
Do they not err that devise evil? but mercy and truth shall be to them that devise good.
23
In all labour there is profit: but the talk of the lips tendeth only to penury.
24
The crown of the wise is their riches: but the foolishness of fools is folly.
25
A true witness delivereth souls: but a deceitful witness speaketh lies.
26
In the fear of the
Lord
is strong confidence: and his children shall have a place of refuge.
27
The fear of the
Lord
is a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death.
28
In the multitude of people is the king's honour: but in the want of people is the destruction of the prince.
29
He that is slow to wrath is of great understanding: but he that is hasty of spirit exalteth folly.

22
Don’t those who plan evil go astray?
But those who plan good find loyalty and faithfulness.
23

A patient person shows great understanding,
but a quick-tempered one promotes foolishness.

while the rich have many 'friends.'

If you plan to do evil, you will be lost;
if you plan to do good, you will receive unfailing love and faithfulness.
23
Work brings profit,
but mere talk leads to poverty!
24
Wealth is a crown for the wise;
the effort of fools yields only foolishness.
25

Lord
are secure;
he will be a refuge for their children.
27
Fear of the
Lord
is a life-giving fountain;
it offers escape from the snares of death.
28

a prince without subjects has nothing.
29
People with understanding control their anger;
a hot temper shows great foolishness.
