Proverbs 14:21-23

New Life Version

²¹He who hates his neighbor sins, but happy is he who shows loving-favor to the poor.

²²Do not those who make sinful plans go the wrong way? Kindness and truth are for those who plan good.

²³Some good comes from all work. Nothing but talk leads only to being poor.
