Hated - Despised and abandoned.

Despiseth - That does not pity and relieve the poor.

Friendship in the world is governed by self-interest. It is good to have God our Friend; he

will not desert us.

To despise a man for his employment or appearance is a sin.

Friendship in this world is very artificial. If you have lots of money, if

could buy your friends gifts, throw a party, buy them food and drinks,

you have many friends.

But the poor have few friends. Even his neighbours dislike him,

looking down upon him.

The rich may have friends who are not true friends. They may be

around for some free food and drinks, for free entertainment. The

poor may have fewer friends but these friends are truer because there

is no advantage they can get from this poor guy.

Those that are sincere to all friends, inc luding the poor, will be happy and blessed. God looks with

favour upon those are good-hearted, those who are good to other people. But the people who are

negatively biased toward his poor neighbour, is disdained by God. So let us be nice to our

"neighbours", other people around us, rich or poor, great or small.

The poor are shunned even by their neighbors,20

but the rich have many friends.

It is a sin to despise ones neighbor,21

but blessed is the one who is kind to the needy.

(Proverbs 14:20-21) (NIV)

22 Do they not go astray who devise evil?

But mercy and truth belongto those who devise good. (Proverbs

but mere talk leads only to poverty. (PRoverbs 14:23) (NIV)

Labour of the head, or of the hand, will turn to some good account. But if men's religion runs

all out in talk and noise, they will come to nothing.

Diligence and hardwork will bring success in career, and success in

25 A truthful witness saves lives,

but a false witness is deceitful. (Proverbs 14:25) (NIV)

Souls - Such as are innocent, from false accusations.

An upright man will venture the ( proverbs 14:26-27) Those who fear the Lord so as to

obey and serve him, have a strong ground of confidence, and will be preserved. Let us seekto this Fountain of life, that we may escape the snares of death.

In the court of law, when a suspect is falsely accused, the truthful

witness is honest in telling the truth. This truth as told by the

truthful/honest witness may save the life of the suspect.

False witness or deceitful witness is committing sin by telling lies, or

biased answers in the court of law.

A man of integrity will venture the displeasure of the greatest, to

bring truth to light and rescue those who are injured by falsehood. A

faithful minister, who truly witnesses for God against sin, is thereby

instrumental to deliver souls from eternal death.

26 In the fear of the LORDthere isstrong confidence,

And His children will have a place of refuge.

27 The fear of the LORDisa fountain of life,To turn oneaway from the snares of death. (Proverbs 14:26-27)

(NKJV)

Whoever fears the LORDhas a secure fortress,26

and for their children it will be a refuge.

The fear of the LORDis a fountain of life,27

turning a person from the snares of death. (Proverbs

14:20) (NIV)

Fearing the Lord and loving God is like a strong fortress that we could

have total faith and full confidence in. Fearing the Lord will help us to

live righteously, with good thoughts and speech, good deeds and

charitable deeds. We will hence be blessed. Our children will also be

blessed due to our good deeds and righteous l iving. Fearing the Lord

is the constant source of a meaningful life in this world and also

eternal life. Fearing the Lord will help us to avoid the snare of

spiritual death.
