PRO 22:1–22:29 ©

The Book of Proverbs 22

22A name is to be chosen more than abundant riches;

favor is better than silver and than gold.

2A rich one and a poor one meet together;

Yahweh is maker of all of them.

3A prudent one sees evil and hides himself,

but naive ones pass on and they are fined.

4The result of humility, the fear of Yahweh,

is riches and honor and life.

5Thorns, traps are in the way of the crooked one;

one who guards his life will stay far away from them.

6Train up the boy according to his way;

even when he is old, he will not turn away from it.

7A rich one rules over those who are poor,

and a borrower is a slave to a man who lends.

8A sower of iniquity will reap disaster,

and the rod of his rage will come to an end.

9The one good of eye, he will be blessed,

for he gives from his bread to the lowly one.

10Drive out a mocker and strife will go out,

and judgment and dishonor will cease.

11One who loves a pure heart,

his lips are gracious, the king is his friend.

12The eyes of Yahweh guard knowledge,

but he overturns the words of one who is treacherous.

13A lazy one says, “A lion is outside!

I will be killed in the midst of the open areas!”

14The mouth of a strange woman is a deep pit;

one who is cursed of Yahweh will fall there.

15Folly is bound up in the heart of a boy;

the rod of discipline will cause it to be far away from him.

16One who oppresses a lowly one to increase for himself,

one who gives to a rich one, surely will be to lack.

17Incline your ear and hear the words of the wise ones,

and you must set your heart to my knowledge!

18For it will be pleasant if you keep them in your inner parts,

they are ready together on your lips.

19For your trust to be in Yahweh,

I have caused you to know today, even you.

20Have I not written for you thirty things [fn]

with counsels and knowledge,

21to cause you to know the truth of the words of trustworthiness,

to return trustworthy words to one who sent you?

22Do not rob a lowly one because he is a lowly one,

and do not crush an afflicted one at the gate.

23For Yahweh will plead their dispute,

and he will plunder of life those who plunder them.

24Do not befriend an owner of nose,

and do not go with a man of heat,

25lest you learn his paths

and you take a snare for your life.

26Do not be among those who clasp a palm,

among those who pledge for loans.

27If there is nothing for you to repay,

why should he take away your bed from under you?

28Do not move the ancient boundary

that your fathers made.

29You see a skilled man in his work.

He will station himself before the face of kings;

he will not station himself before the face of obscure ones.


Instead of thirty things some manuscripts have three times. The Hebrew word could also be read as officers.
