Proverbs 22:1-16 — Proverbs of Solomon
Prov.22.1-16
1A good name is more desirable than great wealth, and good favor is better than silver and gold. 2The rich and the poor meet together; Yahweh is the maker of them all. 3A prudent person sees danger and hides, but the simple pass on and suffer the penalty. 4The reward for humility and the fear of Yahweh is wealth, honor, and life. 5Thorns and snares are in the path of the crooked; whoever guards his soul stays far from them. 6Train up a child in the way he should go, and even when he is old he will not depart from it. 7The rich rules over the poor, and the borrower is slave to the lender. 8Whoever sows injustice will reap trouble, and the rod of his fury will fail. 9A generous person will be blessed, for he gives some of his bread to the poor. 10Drive out a mocker, and strife will go out; quarreling and disgrace will cease. 11Whoever loves a pure heart and whose speech is gracious will have the king as his friend. 12The eyes of Yahweh watch over knowledge, but he overthrows the words of the treacherous. 13The sluggard says, 'There is a lion outside! I will be killed in the streets!' 14The mouth of an adulteress is a deep pit; he who is under Yahweh's wrath will fall into it. 15Folly is bound up in the heart of a child, but the rod of discipline will drive it far from him. 16Whoever oppresses the poor to enrich himself, and whoever gives to the rich, will only come to poverty.
