On Life and Conduct

1 A 1good name is to be more desired than great wealth, Favor is better than silver and gold.
2 The rich and the poor have a common bond, The LORD is the 2maker of them all.
3 The 3prudent sees the evil and hides himself, But the naive go on, and are punished for it.
4 The reward of humility and the fear of the LORD Are riches, honor and life.
5 4Thorns and snares are in the way of the perverse; He who guards himself will be far from them.
6 5Train up a child in the way he should go, Even when he is old he will not depart from it.
