Proverbs 14:16-21
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 14
16A wise person is cautious and turns away from evil, But a fool is arrogant and careless. 17A quick-tempered person acts foolishly, And a person of evil devices is hated. 18The naive inherit foolishness, But the sensible are crowned with knowledge. 19The evil will bow down before the good, And the wicked at the gates of the righteous. 20The poor is hated even by his neighbor, But those who love the rich are many. 21One who despises his neighbor sins, But one who is gracious to the poor is blessed.King James Version
