Proverbs 22
[[1]] ¶ A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches, and loving favour rather than silver and gold.
[2] The rich and poor meet together: the LORD is the maker of them all.
[3] A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself: but the simple pass on, and are punished.
[4] By humility and the fear of the LORD are riches, and honour, and life.
[5] Thorns and snares are in the way of the froward: he that doth keep his soul shall be far from them.
[6] Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.
[7] The rich ruleth over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender.
[8] He that soweth iniquity shall reap vanity: and the rod of his anger shall fail.
[9] He that hath a bountiful eye shall be blessed; for he giveth of his bread to the poor.
[10] Cast out the scorner, and contention shall go out; yea, strife and reproach shall cease.
[11] He that loveth pureness of heart, for the grace of his lips the king shall be his friend.
[12] The eyes of the LORD preserve knowledge, and he overthroweth the words of the transgressor.
[13] The slothful[1] man saith, There is a lion without, I shall be slain in the streets.
[14] The mouth of strange women is a deep pit: he that is abhorred of the LORD shall fall therein.
[15] Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child; but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him.
[16] He that oppresseth the poor to increase his riches, and he that giveth to the rich, shall surely come to want.
[17] Bow down thine ear, and hear the words of the wise, and apply thine heart unto my knowledge.
[18] For it is a pleasant thing if thou keep them within thee; they shall withal be fitted in thy lips.
[19] That thy trust may be in the LORD, I have made known to thee this day, even to thee.
[20] Have not I written to thee excellent things in counsels and knowledge,
[21] That I might make thee know the certainty of the words of truth; that thou mightest answer the words of truth to them that send unto thee?
[22] Rob not the poor, because he is poor: neither oppress the afflicted in the gate:
[23] For the LORD will plead their cause, and spoil the soul of those that spoiled them.
[24] Make no friendship with an angry man; and with a furious man thou shalt not go:
[25] Lest thou learn his ways, and get a snare to thy soul.
[26] Be not thou one of them that strike hands, or of them that are sureties for debts.
[27] If thou hast nothing to pay, why should he take away thy bed from under thee?
[28] Remove not the ancient landmark, which thy fathers have set.
[29] Seest thou a man diligent in his business? he shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean men.
