Proverbs 14:21-23
The Voice

21 Those who have contempt for their neighbors are sinners,
    but those who are kind to the poor are happy.
22 Don’t those who work evil stray from the truth?
    Those who plan goodness experience unfailing love and faithfulness.
23 Prosperity comes from hard work,
    but talking too much leads to great scarcity.
