21. Whoever despises the hungry comes up short,but happy the one who is kind to the poor!
22. Do not those who plan evil go astray?But those who plan good win steadfast loyalty.
23. In all labor there is profit,but mere talk tends only to loss.
24. The crown of the wise is wealth;the diadem of fools is folly.
25. The truthful witness saves lives,but whoever utters lies is a betrayer.
26. The fear of the Lord is a strong defense,a refuge even for one’s children.
27. The fear of the Lord is a fountain of life,turning one from the snares of death.
