Our Daily Bread: Proverbs 22:1-16 [1]Choose a good reputation over great riches; being held in high esteem is better than silver or gold. [2]The rich and poor have this in common: The Lord made them both. [3]A prudent person foresees danger and takes precautions. The simpleton goes blindly on and suffers the consequences. [4]True humility and fear of the Lord lead to riches, honor, and long life. [5]Corrupt people walk a thorny, treacherous road; whoever values life will avoid it. [6]Direct your children onto the right path, and when they are older, they will not leave it. [7]Just as the rich rule the poor, so the borrower is servant to the lender. [8]Those who plant injustice will harvest disaster, and their reign of terror will come to an end. [9]Blessed are those who are generous, because they feed the poor. [10]Throw out the mocker, and fighting goes, too. Quarrels and insults will disappear. [11]Whoever loves a pure heart and gracious speech will have the king as a friend. [12]The Lord preserves those with knowledge, but he ruins the plans of the treacherous. [13]The lazy person claims, “There’s a lion out there! If I go outside, I might be killed!” [14]The mouth of an immoral woman is a dangerous trap; those who make the lord angry will fall into it. [15]A youngster’s heart is filled with foolishness, but physical discipline will drive it far away. [16]A person who gets ahead by oppressing the poor or by showering gifts on the rich will end in poverty. Let's have a coffee Hari Enjoy reading..Blessings
