* A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches , and loving favour rather than silver and gold . * The rich and poor meet together : the LORD is the maker of them all . * A prudent man foreseeth the evil , and hideth (8675 ) himself : but the simple pass on , and are punished . * By humility and the fear of the LORD are riches , and honour , and life . * Thorns and snares are in the way of the froward : he that doth keep his soul shall be far 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 ruleth over the poor , and the borrower is servant to the lender #H3867 . * He that soweth iniquity shall reap vanity : and the rod of his anger shall fail . * He that hath a bountiful eye shall be blessed ; for he giveth of his bread to the poor . * Cast out the scorner , and contention shall go out ; yea , strife and reproach shall cease . * He that loveth pureness t @ of heart , for the grace of his lips the king shall be his friend . * The eyes of the LORD preserve knowledge da #ath #, and he overthroweth the words of the transgressor . * The slothful man saith , There is a lion without , I shall be slain in the streets . * The mouth of strange women is a deep pit : he that is abhorred of the LORD shall fall therein . * Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child na #ar #; but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him . * He that oppresseth the poor to increase his riches , and he that giveth to the rich , shall surely come to want . * Bow down thine ear , and hear the words of the wise , and apply thine heart unto my knowledge da #ath #. * For it is a pleasant thing if thou keep them within thee ; they shall withal be fitted in thy lips . * That thy trust may be in the LORD , I have made known to thee this day , even to thee . * Have not I written to thee excellent things in counsels and knowledge da #ath #, * 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 ? * Rob not the poor , because he is poor : neither oppress the afflicted in the gate sha #ar #: * For the LORD will plead their cause , and spoil the soul of those that spoiled them . * Make no friendship with an angry man ba #al #; and with a furious man thou shalt not go : * Lest thou learn his ways , and get a snare to thy soul . * Be not thou one of them that strike hands , or of them that are sureties for debts mashsha #ah #. * If thou hast nothing to pay , why should he take away thy bed from under thee ? * Remove not the ancient landmark , which thy fathers have set . * Seest thou a man diligent in his business m @la #kah #? he shall stand before kings ; he shall not stand before mean men .
