The evil bow low before the good, and the wicked at the gates of the righteous.
In context
17A quick temper does foolish things, and a man of schemes is hated. 18The simple inherit folly, but the shrewd are crowned with knowledge. 19The evil bow low before the good, and the wicked at the gates of the righteous. 20Even his neighbor hates the poor man, but the rich have friends in plenty. 21Whoever despises his neighbor sins, but happy is the one who is kind to the lowly.
