| Proverbs 22: (ASV) |
| 1) A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches, And loving favor rather than silver and gold. |
| 2) The rich and the poor meet together: Jehovah is the maker of them all. |
| 3) A prudent man seeth the evil, and hideth himself; But the simple pass on, and suffer for it. |
| 4) The reward of humility and the fear of Jehovah Is riches, and honor, and life. |
| 5) Thorns and snares are in the way of the perverse: He that keepeth his soul shall be far from them. |
| 6) Train up a child in the way he should go, And even 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 calamity; And the rod of his wrath 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 scoffer, and contention will go out; Yea, strife and ignominy will cease. |
| 11) He that loveth pureness of heart, For the grace of his lips the king will be his friend. |
| 12) The eyes of Jehovah preserve him that hath knowledge; But he overthroweth the words of the treacherous man. |
| 13) The sluggard 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 Jehovah shall fall therein. |
| 15) Foolishness is bound up 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 gain, And he that giveth to the rich, shall come only to want. |
| 17) Incline thine ear, and hear the words of the wise, And apply thy heart unto my knowledge. |
| 18) For it is a pleasant thing if thou keep them within thee, If they be established together upon thy lips. |
| 19) That thy trust may be in Jehovah, I have made them known to thee this day, even to thee. |
| 20) Have not I written unto thee excellent things Of counsels and knowledge, |
| 21) To make thee know the certainty of the words of truth, That thou mayest carry back words of truth to them that send thee? |
| 22) Rob not the poor, because he is poor; Neither oppress the afflicted in the gate: |
| 23) For Jehovah will plead their cause, And despoil of life those that despoil them. |
| 24) Make no friendship with a man that is given to anger; And with a wrathful man thou shalt not go: |
| 25) Lest thou learn his ways, And get a snare to thy soul. |
| 26) Be thou not one of them that strike hands, Or of them that are sureties for debts. |
| 27) If thou hast not wherewith 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. |
