Pro Proverbs, chapter Proverbs of Solomon, chapter 22

A name is chosen rather than much wealth, || Than silver and than gold—good grace. Ecc 7:1Rich and poor have met together, || YHWH [is] the Maker of them all. Pro 29:13The prudent has seen the evil, and is hidden, || And the simple have passed on, and are punished. Pro 27:12The end of humility [is] the fear of YHWH, riches, and honor, and life. Thorns [and] snares [are] in the way of the perverse, || Whoever is keeping his soul is far from them. Jos 23:13Give instruction to a youth about his way, || Even when he is old he does not turn from it. The rich rules over the poor, || And a servant [is] the borrower to the lender. Jas 2:6Whoever is sowing perverseness reaps sorrow, || And the rod of his anger wears out. Job 4:8; Hos 10:12The good of eye—he is blessed, || For he has given of his bread to the poor. 2Co 9:7Cast out a scorner—and contention goes out, || And strife and shame cease. Whoever is loving cleanness of heart, || His lips [are] grace, || A king [is] his friend. The eyes of YHWH have kept knowledge, || And He overthrows the words of the treacherous. The slothful has said, “A lion [is] outside, || I am slain in the midst of the broad places.” Pro 26:13The mouth of strange women [is] a deep pit, || The abhorred of YHWH falls there. Folly is bound up in the heart of a youth, || The rod of discipline puts it far from him. He [who] is oppressing the poor to multiply his [riches], || Is giving to the rich—only to want. Incline your ear, and hear words of the wise, || And set your heart to my knowledge, For they are pleasant when you keep them in your heart, || They are prepared together for your lips. That your trust may be in YHWH, || I caused you to know today, even you. Have I not written to you three times || With counsels and knowledge? Pro 3:5To cause you to know the certainty of sayings of truth, || To return sayings of truth to those sending you. Do not rob the poor because he [is] poor, || And do not bruise the afflicted in the gate. Deu 24:17; Job 31:13For YHWH pleads their cause, || And has spoiled the soul of their spoilers. Pro 23:11Do not show yourself friendly with an angry man, || And do not go in with a man of fury, Pro 15:18; Pro 29:22Lest you learn his paths, || And have received a snare to your soul. Pro 12:13Do not be among those striking hands, || Among sureties [for] burdens. Pro 6:1If you have nothing to pay, || Why does he take your bed from under you? Pro 20:16Do not remove a border of ancient times, || That your fathers have made. Deu 19:14; Pro 23:10Have you seen a man speedy in his business? He stations himself before kings, || He does not station himself before obscure men!
