Proverbs 22
- 1 A name is chosen rather than much wealth, Than silver and than gold--good grace.
-
2 Rich and poor have met together, The Maker of them all
is Jehovah. - 3 The prudent hath seen the evil, and is hidden, And the simple have passed on, and are punished.
-
4 The end of humility
is the fear of Jehovah, Riches, and honour, and life. -
5 Thorns--snares
are in the way of the perverse, Whoso is keeping his soul is far from them. - 6 Give instruction to a youth about his way, Even when he is old he turneth not from it.
-
7 The rich over the poor ruleth, And a servant
is the borrower to the lender. - 8 Whoso is sowing perverseness reapeth sorrow, And the rod of his anger weareth out.
- 9 The good of eye--he is blessed, For he hath given of his bread to the poor.
- 10 Cast out a scorner--and contention goeth out, And strife and shame cease.
-
11 Whoso is loving cleanness of heart, Grace
are his lips, a king is his friend. - 12 The eyes of Jehovah have kept knowledge, And He overthroweth the words of the treacherous.
-
13 The slothful hath said, `A lion
is without, In the midst of the broad places I am slain.' -
14 A deep pit
is the mouth of strange women, The abhorred of Jehovah falleth there. - 15 Folly is bound up in the heart of a youth, The rod of chastisement putteth it far from him.
- 16 He is oppressing the poor to multiply to him, He is giving to the rich--only to want.
- 17 Incline thine ear, and hear words of the wise, And thy heart set to my knowledge,
- 18 For they are pleasant when thou dost keep them in thy heart, They are prepared together for thy lips.
- 19 That thy trust may be in Jehovah, I caused thee to know to-day, even thou.
- 20 Have I not written to thee three times With counsels and knowledge?
- 21 To cause thee to know the certainty of sayings of truth, To return sayings of truth to those sending thee.
-
22 Rob not the poor because he
is poor, And bruise not the afflicted in the gate. - 23 For Jehovah pleadeth their cause, And hath spoiled the soul of their spoilers.
- 24 Shew not thyself friendly with an angry man, And with a man of fury go not in,
- 25 Lest thou learn his paths, And have received a snare to thy soul.
-
26 Be not thou among those striking hands, Among sureties
for burdens. - 27 If thou hast nothing to pay, Why doth he take thy bed from under thee?
- 28 Remove not a border of olden times, That thy fathers have made.
- 29 Hast thou seen a man speedy in his business? Before kings he doth station himself, He stations not himself before obscure men!
