New Revised Standard Version Help
22A good name is to be chosen rather than great riches, and favor is better than silver or gold.H8034H977H7227H6239H2896H2580H3701H2091 2The rich and the poor have this in common: the LORD is the maker of them all.H6223H7326H6298H3068H6213 3The clever see danger and hide; but the simple go on, and suffer for it.H6175H7200H7451H5641H5641H6612H5674H6064 4The reward for humility and fear of the LORD is riches and honor and life.H6118H6038H3374H3068H6239H3519H2416 5Thorns and snares are in the way of the perverse; the cautious will keep far from them.H6791H6341H1870H6141H8104H5315H7368 6Train children in the right way, and when old, they will not stray.H2596H5288H1870H6310H2204H5493 7The rich rules over the poor, and the borrower is the slave of the lender.H6223H4910H7326H3867H5650H376H3867 8Whoever sows injustice will reap calamity, and the rod of anger will fail.H2232H5766H7114H205H7626H5678H3615 9Those who are generous are blessed, for they share their bread with the poor.H2896H5869H1288H5414H3899H1800 10Drive out a scoffer, and strife goes out; quarreling and abuse will cease.H1644H3887H4066H3318H1779H7036H7673 11Those who love a pure heart and are gracious in speech will have the king as a friend.H157H2890H2889H3820H2580H8193H4428H7453 12The eyes of the LORD keep watch over knowledge, but he overthrows the words of the faithless.H5869H3068H5341H1847H5557H1697H898 13The lazy person says, "There is a lion outside! I shall be killed in the streets!"H6102H559H738H2351H7523H8432H7339 14The mouth of a loose woman is a deep pit; he with whom the LORD is angry falls into it.H6310H2114H6013H7745H2194H3068H5307 15Folly is bound up in the heart of a boy, but the rod of discipline drives it far away.H200H7194H3820H5288H7626H4148H7368 16Oppressing the poor in order to enrich oneself, and giving to the rich, will lead only to loss.H6231H1800H7235H5414H6223H4270 17The words of the wise: Incline your ear and hear my words, and apply your mind to my teaching;H5186H241H8085H1697H2450H7896H3820H1847 18for it will be pleasant if you keep them within you, if all of them are ready on your lips.H5273H8104H990H3162H3559H8193 19So that your trust may be in the LORD, I have made them known to you today—yes, to you.H4009H3068H3045H3117 20Have I not written for you thirty sayings of admonition and knowledge,H3789H8032H7991H4156H1847 21to show you what is right and true, so that you may give a true answer to those who sent you?H3045H7189H561H571H7725H561H571H7971 22Do not rob the poor because they are poor, or crush the afflicted at the gate;H1497H1800H1800H1792H6041H8179 23for the LORD pleads their cause and despoils of life those who despoil them.H3068H7378H7379H6906H5315H6906 24Make no friends with those given to anger, and do not associate with hotheads,H7462H639H1167H2534H376H935 25or you may learn their ways and entangle yourself in a snare.H502H734H3947H4170H5315 26Do not be one of those who give pledges, who become surety for debts.H8628H3709H6148H4859 27If you have nothing with which to pay, why should your bed be taken from under you?H7999H3947H4904 28Do not remove the ancient landmark that your ancestors set up.H5253H5769H1366H1H6213 29Do you see those who are skillful in their work? they will serve kings; they will not serve common people.H2372H376H4106H4399H3320H6440H4428H3320H6440H2823
