The Value of a Good Name

22A good name is to be chosen rather than great riches, Loving favor rather than silver and gold.H8034H977H7227H6239H2896H2580H3701H2091 2The rich and the poor have this in common, The LORD is the maker of them all.H6223H7326H6298H3068H6213 3A prudent man foresees evil and hides himself, But the simple pass on and are punished.H6175H7200H7451H5641H5641H6612H5674H6064 4By humility and the fear of the LORD Are riches and honor and life.H6118H6038H3374H3068H6239H3519H2416 5Thorns and snares are in the way of the perverse; He who guards his soul will be far from them.H6791H6341H1870H6141H8104H5315H7368 6Train up a child in the way he should go, And when he is old he will not depart from it.H2596H5288H1870H6310H2204H5493 7The rich rules over the poor, And the borrower is servant to the lender.H6223H4910H7326H3867H5650H376H3867 8He who sows iniquity will reap sorrow, And the rod of his anger will fail.H2232H5766H7114H205H7626H5678H3615 9He who has a generous eye will be blessed, For he gives of his bread to the poor.H2896H5869H1288H5414H3899H1800 10Cast out the scoffer, and contention will leave; Yes, strife and reproach will cease.H1644H3887H4066H3318H1779H7036H7673 11He who loves purity of heart And has grace on his lips, The king will be his friend.H157H2890H2889H3820H2580H8193H4428H7453 12The eyes of the LORD preserve knowledge, But He overthrows the words of the faithless.H5869H3068H5341H1847H5557H1697H898 13The lazy man says, "There is a lion outside! I shall be slain in the streets!"H6102H559H738H2351H7523H8432H7339 14The mouth of an immoral woman is a deep pit; He who is abhorred by the LORD will fall there.H6310H2114H6013H7745H2194H3068H5307 15Foolishness is bound up in the heart of a child; The rod of correction will drive it far from him.H200H7194H3820H5288H7626H4148H7368 16He who oppresses the poor to increase his riches, And he who gives to the rich, will surely come to poverty.H6231H1800H7235H5414H6223H4270

Sayings of the Wise

17Incline your ear and hear the words of the wise, And apply your heart to my knowledge;H5186H241H8085H1697H2450H7896H3820H1847 18For it is a pleasant thing if you keep them within you; Let them all be fixed upon your lips,H5273H8104H990H3162H3559H8193 19So that your trust may be in the LORD; I have instructed you today, even you.H4009H3068H3045H3117 20Have I not written to you excellent things Of counsels and knowledge,H3789H8032H7991H4156H1847 21That I may make you know the certainty of the words of truth, That you may answer words of truth To those who send to you?H3045H7189H561H571H7725H561H571H7971 22Do not rob the poor because he is poor, Nor oppress the afflicted at the gate;H1497H1800H1800H1792H6041H8179 23For the LORD will plead their cause, And plunder the soul of those who plunder them.H3068H7378H7379H6906H5315H6906 24Make no friendship with an angry man, And with a furious man do not go,H7462H639H1167H2534H376H935 25Lest you learn his ways And set a snare for your soul.H502H734H3947H4170H5315 26Do not be one of those who shakes hands in a pledge, One of those who is surety for debts;H8628H3709H6148H4859 27If you have nothing with which to pay, Why should he take away your bed from under you?H7999H3947H4904 28Do not remove the ancient landmark Which your fathers have set.H5253H5769H1366H1H6213 29Do you see a man who excels in his work? He will stand before kings; He will not stand before unknown men.H2372H376H4106H4399H3320H6440H4428H3320H6440H2823
