Matthew Henry · Verse 26
The righteous is abundant; though not in this world's goods, yet in the graces and comforts of the Spirit, which are the true riches. Evil men vainly flatter themselves that their ways are not wrong.
Proverbs 12:26
A righteous person is cautious in friendship, but the way of the wicked leads them astray.
