Proverbs:22

* A good name is better than great riches , and loving favor is better than silver and gold . * The rich and the poor meet together for Jehovah created them both . * A prudent man sees evil and takes refuge . The simple keep going and suffers . * Respect for Jehovah and humility bring riches and honor and life . * Thorns and snares are in the way of the wicked . He who guards his life will stay far away from them . * Train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old , he will not depart from it . * The rich rules over the poor , and the borrower is servant to the lender . * He who sows unrighteousness will reap vanity . The rod of his anger will fail . * He who has a bountiful eye will be blessed for he gives of his bread to the poor . * Throw out the scoffer and contention will go away , yes , strife and reproach will cease . * He who loves pureness of heart , for the charm of his lips the king will be his friend . * The eyes of Jehovah preserve knowledge . He overthrows the words of the unfaithful . * The lazy man says : »There is a lion outside . I will be killed in the streets .« * The mouth of the adulterous is a deep pit . The one who is cursed by Jehovah will fall into it . * Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child . The rod of discipline will drive it far from him . * He who gets ahead by oppressing the poor and giving to the rich will certainly suffer loss . * Incline your ear and listen to the words of the wise . Apply your heart and mind to my knowledge . * It is pleasant that you keep them within you . They will be firmly established on you lips . * Your trust may be in Jehovah . I taught you today , even you . * Have I not written to you excellent things in counsel and knowledge ? * I make you know the certainty of the words of truth . And you will answer the words of truth to those who speak to you . * Do not rob the poor because he is poor , or crush the afflicted at the gate . * Jehovah will plead their cause and take the life of those who rob them . * Do not befriend an angry man . Do not associate with a man who throws fits . * If you do you will learn his ways and you will become trapped . * Do not give pledges and be guarantors for debts . * If you have nothing to pay , why should he take away your bed from under you ? * Do not remove the ancient landmark which your fathers have set . * Do you see a man diligent in his business ? He will stand before kings . He will not stand before unknown men .
