21 Those who despise their neighbors are sinners, but happy are those who are kind to the needy.
22 Don't those who plan evil go astray? Those who plan good receive loyalty and faithfulness.

24 Wealth is the crown of the wise, and the folly of fools is folly.
25 A truthful witness saves lives, but a deceiver proclaims lies.
