Proverbs 14:21-23
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

21 Those who despise their neighbours are sinners,
    but happy are those who are kind to the poor.
22 Do they not err that plan evil?
    Those who plan good find loyalty and faithfulness.
23 In all toil there is profit,
    but mere talk leads only to poverty.
