Proverbs 14:20-26 The Message (MSG)

20. An unlucky loser is shunned by all,but everyone loves a winner.

21. It’s criminal to ignore a neighbor in need,but compassion for the poor—what a blessing!

22. Isn’t it obvious that conspirators lose out,while the thoughtful win love and trust?

23. Hard work always pays off;mere talk puts no bread on the table.

24. The wise accumulate wisdom;fools get stupider by the day.

25. Souls are saved by truthful witnessand betrayed by the spread of lies.

26. The Fear-of-God builds up confidence,and makes a world safe for your children.
