PRO 22:1–22:16 ©

Proverbs 22

22A fair name is more to be chosen than wealth;

men’s regard is far better than silver and gold.

2The rich and the poor meet together;

the Lord is the maker of both.

3The prudent scent mischief and hide;

the simple go on and are punished.

4The reward of the humble who fear the Lord

is riches and honour and life.

5On the way of the crooked lie traps and snares;

he who watches his life will keep far away.

6Train up a child for his destined way,

and, even when old, he will not depart from it.

7The rich lords it over the poor,

and the borrower is slave to the lender.

8He that sows wrong will reap trouble,

and the gain he has toiled for will vanish.

9The man with the kindly eye will be blessed,

for he gives of his bread to the poor.

10Expel the scoffer and discord will vanish,

and strife and insult cease.

11The pure in heart are beloved of the Lord,

and the winsome of speech have the king for a friend.

12The Lord is watching, alert and aware,

nd the aims of the false he subverts.

13The lazy man says, ‘There’s a lion outside.

on the street I am like to be murdered.’

14The lewd woman’s mouth is a deep, deep pit;

he who angers the Lord will fall into it.

15Folly is bound to the mind of a child,

but the rod of correction removes it.

16He who crushes the poor in the end but enriches him,

but a gift to the rich only tends to his poverty.
