22 A fair name is more to be chosen than wealth;
men’s regard is far better than silver and gold.
2 The rich and the poor meet together;
the Lord is the maker of both.
3 The prudent scent mischief and hide;
the simple go on and are punished.
4 The reward of the humble who fear the Lord
is riches and honour and life.
5 On the way of the crooked lie traps and snares;
he who watches his life will keep far away.
6 Train up a child for his destined way,
and, even when old, he will not depart from it.
7 The rich lords it over the poor,
and the borrower is slave to the lender.
8 He that sows wrong will reap trouble,
and the gain he has toiled for will vanish.
9 The man with the kindly eye will be blessed,
for he gives of his bread to the poor.
10 Expel the scoffer and discord will vanish,
and strife and insult cease.
11 The pure in heart are beloved of the Lord,
and the winsome of speech have the king for a friend.
12 The Lord is watching, alert and aware,
nd the aims of the false he subverts.
13 The lazy man says, ‘There’s a lion outside.
on the street I am like to be murdered.’
14 The lewd woman’s mouth is a deep, deep pit;
he who angers the Lord will fall into it.
15 Folly is bound to the mind of a child,
but the rod of correction removes it.
16 He who crushes the poor in the end but enriches him,
but a gift to the rich only tends to his poverty.
Second Collection of Proverbs
17 Incline your ear and hear my words,
and set your heart to know their beauty.
18 Keep them in your mind,
have them ever fixed on your lips.
19 That your trust may be in the Lord
I teach you them this day,
20 As I wrote for you heretofore
concerning counsels of wisdom –
21 to acquaint you with words of truth,
and with answers for those who would question you.
22 Rob not the poor because he is poor,
and crush not the weak in the gate;
23 For the Lord will defend their cause,
and will rob of their lives those who rob them.
24 Make no friend of a man prone to anger,
nor go with a man of passion,
25 in case you learn his ways.
and get yourself ensnared.
26 Be not one of those that give pledges,
of those that are surety for debt;
27 for if you have nothing to pay,
your bed will be taken from under you.
28 Remove not the ancient landmark
established by your fathers.
29 Do you see a man expert in his business?
He will stand in the presence of kings.
but before obscure men he will not stand.
