A good name is more desirable than great riches

 
A good name is more desirable than great riches,and loving favor is better than silver and gold. +
The rich and the poor have this in common:The LORD is the maker of them all. +
A prudent man sees danger, and hides himself;but the simple pass on, and suffer for it. +
The result of humility and the fear of The LORDis wealth, honor, and life. +
Thorns and snares are in the path of the wicked:whoever guards his soul stays from them. +
Train up a child in the way he should go,and when he is old he will not depart from it. +
The rich rule over the poor.The borrower is servant to the lender. +
He who sows wickedness reaps trouble,and the rod of his fury will be destroyed. +
He who has a generous eye will be blessed;for he shares his food with the poor. +
10 
Drive out the mocker, and strife will go out;yes, quarrels and insults will stop. +
11 
He who loves purity of heart and speaks gracefullyis the king's friend. +
12 
The LORD's eyes watch over knowledge;but he frustrates the words of the unfaithful. +
13 
The sluggard says, "There is a lion outside!I will be killed in the streets!" +
14 
The mouth of an adulteress is a deep pit.He who is under The LORD's wrath will fall into it. +
15 
Folly is bound up in the heart of a child:the rod of discipline drives it far from him. +
16 
Whoever oppresses the poor for his own increase and whoever gives to the rich,both come to poverty. +
 

 
 
17 
Turn your ear, and listen to the words of the wise.Apply your heart to my teaching. +
18 
For it is a pleasant thing if you keep them within you,if all of them are ready on your lips. +
19 
That your trust may be in The LORD,I teach you today, even you. +
20 
Haven't I written to you thirty excellent thingsof counsel and knowledge, +
21 
To teach you truth, reliable words,to give sound answers to the ones who sent you? +
22 
Don't exploit the poor, because he is poor;and don't crush the needy in court; +
23 
for the LORD will plead their case,and plunder the life of those who plunder them.
24 
Don't befriend a hot-tempered man,and don't associate with one who harbors anger: +
25 
lest you learn his ways,and ensnare your soul. +
26 
Don't you be one of those who strike hands,of those who are collateral for debts. +
27 
If you don't have means to pay,why should he take away your bed from under you? +
28 
Don't move the ancient boundary stone,which your fathers have set up. +
29 
Do you see a man skilled in his work?He will serve kings.He won't serve obscure men. +
