Proverbs 22

22A good reputation is more desirable than great wealth,

≈ and good favour more than gold or silver.

2Rich and poor meet each other at their end.

≈ Yahweh is the creator of all of them.

3A prudent person notices trouble and avoids it,

whereas naive people just blunder onwards and suffer.

4The consequence of humility and respecting and honouring Yahweh

→ is riches and honour and life.

5Thorns and traps are on the perverse person’s path,

^ but those who guard their own self-esteem keep far away from them.

6Train your children in the way they should go,

→ then when they’re older they won’t turn away from it.


7A rich person rules over those who are poor,

≈ and the one who borrows is enslaved to the lender.

8The person who sows evil will harvest trouble,

and the power from his anger will end.

9Generous people will be blessed,

because they share their food with the poor.

10Drive away a mocker and then strife will disappear,

→ and abuse and disputes will stop.

11The person who values pure motives, who speaks graciously,

→ will have the king for a friend.

12Yahweh’s eyes guard knowledge,

^ but he overthrows the plans of those who behave treacherously.

13The lazy person says, “There’s a lion outside—

→ I’ll be killed if I go outside!”

14The mouth of a loose woman is a deep pit.

→ Those who are cursed by Yahweh will fall into it.

15Foolish ideas are natural in the mind of a youth.

→ but the rod bringing discipline drives it far from them.

16Those who oppress the poor or give to the rich, in order to make a profit,

→ will just end up in poverty themselves.
