24
And as humility is an abomination to the proud: so also the rich man abhorreth the poor.
25
When a rich man is shaken, he is kept up by his friends: but when a poor man is fallen down, he is thrust away even by his acquaintance.
26
When a rich man hath been deceived, he hath many helpers: he hath spoken proud things, and they have justified him.
27
The poor man was deceived, and he is rebuked also: he hath spoken wisely, and could have no place.
28
The rich man spoke, and all held their peace, and what he said they extol even to the clouds.
29
The poor man spoke, and they say: Who is this? and if he stumble, they will overthrow him.
30
Riches are good to him that hath no sin in his conscience: and poverty is very wicked in the mouth of the ungodly.
31
The heart of a man changeth his countenance, either for good, or for evil.
32
The token of a good heart, and a good countenance thou shalt hardly find, and with labour.
