4 The reward of humility and the fear of the LORD is wealth, honor, and life.
5 Thorns and nets are in the path of the crooked; those who guard their lives keep their distance.
6 Train children in the way they should go; when they grow old, they won't depart from it.
7 The wealthy rule over the poor; a borrower is a slave to a lender.
8 Those who sow injustice will harvest evil; the rod of their fury will come to an end.
9 Happy are generous people, because they give some of their food to the poor.
10 Remove the mocker and conflict disappears; judgment and shame also stop.
11 Those who love a pure heart— their speech is gracious, and the king is their friend.
12 The LORD's eyes protect knowledge, but he frustrates the words of the treacherous.
13 A lazy person says, "There's a lion in the street! I'll be killed in the town square!"
14 The mouth of a mysterious woman is a deep pit; those under the LORD's wrath will fall in it.
