022:001
A GOOD name is rather to be chosen than great riches, and loving favour rather than silver and gold.

022:002
The rich and poor meet together: the LORD is the maker of them all.

022:003
A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself: but the simple pass on, and are punished.

022:004
By humility and the fear of the LORD are riches, and honour, and life.

022:005
Thorns and snares are in the way of the froward: he that doth keep his soul shall be far from them.

022:006
Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.

022:007
The rich ruleth over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender.

022:008
He that soweth iniquity shall reap vanity: and the rod of his anger shall fail.

022:009
He that hath a bountiful eye shall be blessed; for he giveth of his bread to the poor.

022:010
Cast out the scorner, and contention shall go out; yea, strife and reproach shall cease.

022:011
He that loveth pureness of heart, for the grace of his lips the king shall be his friend.

022:012
The eyes of the LORD preserve knowledge, and he overthroweth the words of the transgressor.

022:013
The slothful man saith, There is a lion without, I shall be slain in the streets.

022:014
The mouth of strange women is a deep pit: he that is abhorred of the LORD shall fall therein.

022:015
Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child; but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him.

022:016
He that oppresseth the poor to increase his riches, and he that giveth to the rich, shall surely come to want.

022:017
Bow down thine ear, and hear the words of the wise, and apply thine heart unto my knowledge.

022:018
For it is a pleasant thing if thou keep them within thee; they shall withal be fitted in thy lips.

022:019
That thy trust may be in the LORD, I have made known to thee this day, even to thee.

022:020
Have not I written to thee excellent things in counsels and knowledge,

022:021
That I might make thee know the certainty of the words of truth; that thou mightest answer the words of truth to them that send unto thee?

022:022
Rob not the poor, because he is poor: neither oppress the afflicted in the gate:

022:023
For the LORD will plead their cause, and spoil the soul of those that spoiled them.

022:024
Make no friendship with an angry man; and with a furious man thou shalt not go:

022:025
Lest thou learn his ways, and get a snare to thy soul.

022:026
Be not thou one of them that strike hands, or of them that are sureties for debts.

022:027
If thou hast nothing to pay, why should he take away thy bed from under thee?

022:029
Seest thou a man diligent in his business? he shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean men.
