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.
