Proverbs  


22 : 1 A good name is to be more desired than great wealth, Favor is better than silver and gold.
22 : 2 The rich and the poor have a common bond, The LORD is the maker of them all.
22 : 3 The prudent sees the evil and hides himself, But the naive go on, and are punished for it.
22 : 4 The reward of humility and the fear of the LORD Are riches, honor and life.
22 : 5 Thorns and snares are in the way of the perverse; He who guards himself will be far from them.
22 : 6 Train up a child in the way he should go, Even when he is old he will not depart from it.
22 : 7 The rich rules over the poor, And the borrower becomes the lender`s slave.
22 : 8 He who sows iniquity will reap vanity, And the rod of his fury will perish.
22 : 9 He who is generous will be blessed, For he gives some of his food to the poor.
22 : 10 Drive out the scoffer, and contention will go out, Even strife and dishonor will cease.
22 : 11 He who loves purity of heart And whose speech is gracious, the king is his friend.

22 : 16 He who oppresses the poor to make more for himself Or who gives to the rich, will only come to poverty.
22 : 17 Incline your ear and hear the words of the wise, And apply your mind to my knowledge;
22 : 18 For it will be pleasant if you keep them within you, That they may be ready on your lips.
22 : 19 So that your trust may be in the LORD, I have taught you today, even you.
22 : 20 Have I not written to you excellent things Of counsels and knowledge,
22 : 21 To make you know the certainty of the words of truth That you may correctly answer him who sent you?
22 : 22 Do not rob the poor because he is poor, Or crush the afflicted at the gate;
22 : 23 For the LORD will plead their case And take the life of those who rob them.
22 : 24 Do not associate with a man given to anger; Or go with a hot-tempered man,
22 : 25 Or you will learn his ways And find a snare for yourself.
