Proverbs 22:1-10

1 A good reputation is better than much wealth; high esteem is better than silver and gold.

2 The rich and the poor have this in common: the LORD made them both.

3 Prudent people see trouble and hide, while the simpleminded go right to it and get punished.

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.
