Proverbs 14:19

¹⁷ A quick-tempered man acts foolishly, and a devious man is hated.

¹⁸ The simple inherit folly, but the prudent are crowned with knowledge.

The evil bow before the good, and the wicked at the gates of the righteous.

²⁰ The poor man is hated even by his neighbor, but many are those who love the rich.

²¹ He who despises his neighbor sins, but blessed is he who shows kindness to the poor.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
