1. ¶ GOOD name is better than great riches, and loving favor than silver and gold.
2. ¶ The rich and the poor meet together; the LORD is the maker of them both.
3. ¶ A prudent man sees an evil man scourged and is greatly instructed by it; but fools pass by and suffer loss.
4. ¶ The result of humility is reverence for the LORD, and riches and honor and life.
5. ¶ Snares and traps are found on a crooked way; he who keeps his soul shall 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 shall be ruled by the poor, and the servant shall loan to his former lender.
8. ¶ He who sows iniquity shall reap deceit; and the staff of his anger shall be broken.
9. ¶ He who has a bountiful eye shall be blessed; for he gives of his bread to the poor.
10. ¶ Destroy evil, cast out strife, do away with contention and reproach, lest they sit in the assembly and reproach all who are present.
11. ¶ The LORD loves him who is pure in heart and is gracious to the lips of the king’s friends.
12. ¶ The eyes of the LORD preserve knowledge and destroy the words of deceit.
13. ¶ When he is sent on an errand, the sluggard says, There is a lion on the road! and, Behold, there is murder in the streets!
14. ¶ The mouth of a strange woman is a deep pit; he with whom the LORD is angry shall fall into it.
15. ¶ Foolishness moves the heart of a child; but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him.
16. ¶ He who oppresses the poor adds to his evil; and he who gives to the rich, shall suffer a loss.
17. ¶ Incline your ear, and hear the words of the wise, and apply your heart to my knowledge.
18. For both of them are pleasant, keep them within you; let them together be made ready on your lips.
19. That your trust may be in the LORD, I have made these things known to you this day, even to you.
20. Behold, this is the third time that I have written them to you,
21. That I might make you know counsel and knowledge and peace and the words of truth; so that you could answer words of truth to him who might send to you.
22. ¶ Do not oppress the poor because he is poor; neither afflict the needy in the gate.
23. For the LORD will plead their cause and avenge the injustice which is done to them.
24. ¶ Make no friendship with wrathful man; and with a man given to anger you shall not go,
25. Lest you learn his ways and find a stumbling block to your soul.
26. ¶ Do not become a surety for a debt simply because you are ashamed to turn down those who ask you,
27. For if you have nothing to pay, they will take your bed from under you.
28. ¶ Remove not the ancient landmark which your fathers have set.
29. ¶ When you see that a man is diligent in his work, he shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before obscure men.
