[1] A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches, and loving favour rather than silver and gold. [2] The rich and poor meet together: the LORD is the maker [3] A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself: but the simple pass on, and are punished. [4] By humility and the fear of the LORD are riches, and honour, and life. [5] Thorns and snares are in the way of the froward: he that doth keep his soul shall be far [6] Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart [7] The rich ruleth over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender. [8] He that soweth iniquity shall reap and the rod of his anger shall fail. [9] He that hath a bountiful eye shall be blessed; for he giveth of his bread to the poor. [10] Cast out the scorner, and contention shall go out; yea, strife and reproach shall cease. [11] He that loveth pureness for the grace of his lips the king shall be his friend. [12] The eyes of the LORD preserve knowledge, and he overthroweth the words of the transgressor. [13] The slothful man saith, There is a lion without, I shall be slain in the streets. [14] The mouth of strange women is a deep pit: he that is abhorred of the LORD shall fall therein. [15] Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child; but the rod of correction shall drive it far [16] He that oppresseth the poor to increase his riches, and he that giveth to the rich, shall surely come to want.
