Proverbs 22
A
good
a
name
is
rather
to
be
chosen
than
great
b
riches,
and
loving
favour
rather
than
silver
and
gold.
2 The
a
rich
and
poor
meet
together:
the
Lord
is
the
maker
of
them
all.
3 A
a
prudent
man
foreseeth
the
evil,
and
hideth
himself:
but
the
simple
pass
on,
and
are
punished.
4 By
a
humility
and
the
b
fear
of
the
Lord
are
riches,
and
honour,
and
life.
5 Thorns
and
snares
are
in
the
way
of
the
a
froward:
he
that
doth
keep
his
soul
shall
be
far
from
them.
6
a
Train
up
a
b
child
in
the
way
he
should
go:
and
when
he
is
old,
he
will
not
depart
from
it.
7 The
a
rich
ruleth
over
the
poor,
and
the
b
borrower
is
c
servant
to
the
lender.
8 He
that
a
soweth
iniquity
shall
b
reap
vanity:
and
the
rod
of
his
anger
shall
fail.
9 He
that
hath
a
bountiful
eye
shall
be
blessed;
for
he
giveth
of
his
a
bread
to
the
b
poor.
10 Cast
out
the
scorner,
and
a
contention
shall
go
out;
yea,
b
strife
and
reproach
shall
cease.
11 He
that
loveth
pureness
of
heart,
for
the
grace
of
his
lips
the
king
shall
be
his
friend.
12 The
eyes
of
the
Lord
preserve
knowledge,
and
he
overthroweth
the
words
of
the
transgressor.
13 The
slothful
man
saith,
There
is
a
lion
without,
I
shall
be
slain
in
the
streets.
14 The
mouth
of
a
strange
women
is
a
deep
pit:
he
that
is
abhorred
of
the
Lord
shall
fall
therein.
15 Foolishness
is
bound
in
the
heart
of
a
child;
but
the
rod
of
correction
shall
drive
it
far
from
him.
16 He
that
a
oppresseth
the
poor
to
increase
his
b
riches,
and
he
that
giveth
to
the
rich,
shall
surely
come
to
want.
17 Bow
down
thine
ear,
and
hear
the
words
of
the
wise,
and
apply
thine
heart
unto
my
knowledge.
18 For
it
is
a
pleasant
thing
if
thou
keep
them
within
thee;
they
shall
withal
be
fitted
in
thy
lips.
19 That
thy
trust
may
be
in
the
Lord,
I
have
made
known
to
thee
this
day,
even
to
thee.
20 Have
not
I
written
to
thee
excellent
things
in
counsels
and
knowledge,
21 That
I
might
make
thee
know
the
certainty
of
the
a
words
of
truth;
that
thou
mightest
answer
the
words
of
truth
to
them
that
send
unto
thee?
22 Rob
not
the
a
poor,
because
he
is
poor:
neither
oppress
the
afflicted
in
the
gate:
23 For
the
Lord
will
a
plead
their
b
cause,
and
spoil
the
soul
of
those
that
spoiled
them.
24 Make
no
a
friendship
with
an
b
angry
man;
and
with
a
furious
man
thou
shalt
not
go:
25 Lest
thou
learn
his
ways,
and
get
a
snare
to
thy
soul.
26 Be
not
thou
one
of
them
that
a
strike
hands,
or
of
them
that
are
b
sureties
for
debts.
27 If
thou
hast
nothing
to
pay,
why
should
he
take
away
thy
bed
from
under
thee?
28 Remove
not
the
ancient
a
landmark,
which
thy
fathers
have
set.
29 Seest
thou
a
man
a
diligent
in
his
business?
he
shall
stand
before
kings;
he
shall
not
stand
before
b
mean
men.
