Proverbs 22:1-10

Listen to Proverbs 22:1-10
1 A good name is more desirable than great wealth. Respect is better than silver or gold.
2 The rich and the poor have this in common: the LORD is the maker of them all.
3 Sensible people foresee trouble and hide [from it], but gullible people go ahead and suffer [the consequence].
4 On the heels of humility (the fear of the LORD) are riches and honor and life.
5 A devious person has thorns and traps ahead of him. Whoever guards himself will stay far away from them.
6 Train a child in the way he should go, and even when he is old he will not turn away from it.
7 A rich person rules poor people, and a borrower is a slave to a lender.
8 Whoever plants injustice will harvest trouble, and this weapon of his own fury will be destroyed.
9 Whoever is generous will be blessed because he has shared his food with the poor.
10 Drive out a mocker, and conflict will leave. Quarreling and abuse will stop.
