On Life and Conduct

22A GOOD name is rather to be chosen than great riches, and loving favor rather than silver and gold.H8034H977H7227H6239H2896H2580H3701H2091 2The rich and poor meet together; the Lord is the Maker of them all.H6223H7326H6298H3068H6213 3A prudent man sees the evil and hides himself, but the simple pass on and are punished [with suffering].H6175H7200H7451H5641H5641H6612H5674H6064 4The reward of humility {and} the reverent {and} worshipful fear of the Lord is riches and honor and life.H6118H6038H3374H3068H6239H3519H2416 5Thorns and snares are in the way of the obstinate {and} willful; he who guards himself will be far from them.H6791H6341H1870H6141H8104H5315H7368 6Train up a child in the way he should go [and in keeping with his individual gift or bent], and when he is old he will not depart from it.H2596H5288H1870H6310H2204H5493 7The rich rule over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender.H6223H4910H7326H3867H5650H376H3867 8He who sows iniquity will reap calamity {and} futility, and the rod of his wrath [with which he smites others] will fail.H2232H5766H7114H205H7626H5678H3615 9He who has a bountiful eye shall be blessed, for he gives of his bread to the poor.H2896H5869H1288H5414H3899H1800 10Drive out the scoffer, and contention will go out; yes, strife and abuse will cease.H1644H3887H4066H3318H1779H7036H7673 11He who loves purity {and} the pure in heart {and} who is gracious in speech--because of the grace of his lips will he have the king for his friend.H157H2890H2889H3820H2580H8193H4428H7453 12The eyes of the Lord keep guard over knowledge {and} him who has it, but He overthrows the words of the treacherous.H5869H3068H5341H1847H5557H1697H898 13The sluggard says, There is a lion outside! I shall be slain in the streets!H6102H559H738H2351H7523H8432H7339 14The mouth of a loose woman is a deep pit [for ensnaring wild animals]; he with whom the Lord is indignant {and} who is abhorrent to Him will fall into it.H6310H2114H6013H7745H2194H3068H5307 15Foolishness is bound up in the heart of a child, but the rod of discipline will drive it far from him.H200H7194H3820H5288H7626H4148H7368 16He who oppresses the poor to get gain for himself {and} he who gives to the rich--both will surely come to want.H6231H1800H7235H5414H6223H4270 17Listen (consent and submit) to the words of the wise, and apply your mind to my knowledge;H5186H241H8085H1697H2450H7896H3820H1847 18For it will be pleasant if you keep them in your mind [believing them]; your lips will be accustomed to [confessing] them.H5273H8104H990H3162H3559H8193 19So that your trust (belief, reliance, support, and confidence) may be in the Lord, I have made known these things to you today, even to you.H4009H3068H3045H3117 20Have I not written to you [long ago] excellent things in counsels and knowledge,H3789H8032H7991H4156H1847 21To make you know the certainty of the words of truth, that you may give a true answer to those who sent you?H3045H7189H561H571H7725H561H571H7971 22Rob not the poor [being tempted by their helplessness], neither oppress the afflicted at the gate [where the city court is held],H1497H1800H1800H1792H6041H8179 23For the Lord will plead their cause and deprive of life those who deprive [the poor or afflicted].H3068H7378H7379H6906H5315H6906 24Make no friendships with a man given to anger, and with a wrathful man do not associate,H7462H639H1167H2534H376H935 25Lest you learn his ways and get yourself into a snare.H502H734H3947H4170H5315 26Be not one of those who strike hands {and} pledge themselves, or of those who become security for another's debts.H8628H3709H6148H4859 27If you have nothing with which to pay, why should he take your bed from under you?H7999H3947H4904 28Remove not the ancient landmark which your fathers have set up.H5253H5769H1366H1H6213 29Do you see a man diligent {and} skillful in his business? He will stand before kings; he will not stand before obscure men.H2372H376H4106H4399H3320H6440H4428H3320H6440H2823
