# Chapter 22
|
|
1. A good name is to be chosen rather than great riches,
|
|
Loving favor rather than silver and gold.
|
|
|
|
2. The rich and the poor have this in common,
|
|
The Lord is the maker of them all.
|
|
|
|
3. A prudent man foresees evil and hides himself,
|
|
But the simple pass on and are punished.
|
|
|
|
4. By humility and the fear of the Lord
|
|
Are riches and honor and life.
|
|
|
|
5. Thorns and snares are in the way of the perverse;
|
|
He who guards his soul will be far from them.
|
|
|
|
6. Train up a child in the way he should go,
|
|
And when he is old he will not depart from it.
|
|
|
|
7. The rich rules over the poor,
|
|
And the borrower is servant to the lender.
|
|
|
|
8. He who sows iniquity will reap sorrow,
|
|
And the rod of his anger will fail.
|
|
|
|
9. He who has a generous eye will be blessed,
|
|
For he gives of his bread to the poor.
|
|
|
|
10. Cast out the scoffer, and contention will leave;
|
|
Yes, strife and reproach will cease.
|
|
|
|
11. He who loves purity of heart
|
|
And has grace on his lips,
|
|
The king will be his friend.
|
|
|
|
12. The eyes of the Lord preserve knowledge,
|
|
But He overthrows the words of the faithless.
|
|
|
|
13. The lazy man says, "There is a lion outside!
|
|
I shall be slain in the streets!"
|
|
|
|
14. The mouth of an immoral woman is a deep pit;
|
|
He who is abhorred by the Lord will fall there.
|
|
|
|
15. Foolishness is bound up in the heart of a child;
|
|
The rod of correction will drive it far from him.
|
|
|
|
16. He who oppresses the poor to increase his riches,
|
|
And he who gives to the rich, will surely come to poverty.Sayings of the Wise
|
|
|
|
17. Incline your ear and hear the words of the wise,
|
|
And apply your heart to my knowledge;
|
|
|
|
18. For it is a pleasant thing if you keep them within you;
|
|
Let them all be fixed upon your lips,
|
|
|
|
19. So that your trust may be in the Lord;
|
|
I have instructed you today, even you.
|
|
|
|
20. Have I not written to you excellent things
|
|
Of counsels and knowledge,
|
|
|
|
21. That 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?
|
|
|
|
22. Do not rob the poor because he is poor,
|
|
Nor oppress the afflicted at the gate;
|
|
|
|
23. For the Lord will plead their cause,
|
|
And plunder the soul of those who plunder them.
|
|
|
|
24. Make no friendship with an angry man,
|
|
And with a furious man do not go,
|
|
|
|
25. Lest you learn his ways
|
|
And set a snare for your soul.
|
|
|
|
26. Do not be one of those who shakes hands in a pledge,
|
|
One of those who is surety for debts;
|
|
|
|
27. If you have nothing with which to pay,
|
|
Why should he take away your bed from under you?
|
|
|
|
28. Do not remove the ancient landmark
|
|
Which your fathers have set.
|
|
|
|
29. Do you see a man who excels in his work?
|
|
He will stand before kings;
|
|
He will not stand before unknown men.
