Verse 20 is found in chapter 14 of Proverbs. The text again contrasts the house of the wicked with the tent of the upright and shows that outward laughter does not always reveal inner condition. The fool despises his neighbor and the poor may be rejected, while the righteous regard such relationships with mercy. The section reminds us that social appearances do not determine a person’s moral worth before God.
