    22:1  A good name is more desirable than great riches, And loving favor is better than silver and gold.

    22:2  The rich and the poor have this in common: Yahweh is the maker of them all.

    22:3  A prudent man sees danger, and hides himself; But the simple pass on, and suffer for it.

    22:4  The result of humility and the fear of Yahweh Is wealth, honor, and life.

    22:5  Thorns and snares are in the path of the wicked: Whoever guards his soul stays from them.

    22:6  Train up a child in the way he should go, And when he is old he will not depart from it.

    22:7  The rich rule over the poor. The borrower is servant to the lender.

    22:8  He who sows wickedness reaps trouble, And the rod of his fury will be destroyed.

    22:9  He who has a generous eye will be blessed; For he shares his food with the poor.

    22:10  Drive out the mocker, and strife will go out; Yes, quarrels and insults will stop.

    22:11  He who loves purity of heart and speaks gracefully Is the king's friend.

    22:12  The eyes of Yahweh watch over knowledge; But he frustrates the words of the unfaithful.

    22:13  The sluggard says, "There is a lion outside! I will be killed in the streets!"

    22:14  The mouth of an adulteress is a deep pit: He who is under Yahweh's wrath will fall into it.

    22:15  Folly is bound up in the heart of a child: The rod of discipline drives it far from him.

    22:16  Whoever oppresses the poor for his own increase and whoever gives to the rich, Both come to poverty.

    22:17  Turn your ear, and listen to the words of the wise. Apply your heart to my teaching.

    22:18  For it is a pleasant thing if you keep them within you, If all of them are ready on your lips.

    22:19  That your trust may be in Yahweh, I teach you today, even you.

    22:20  Haven't I written to you thirty excellent things Of counsel and knowledge,

    22:21  To teach you truth, reliable words, To give sound answers to the ones who sent you?

    22:22  Don't exploit the poor, because he is poor; And don't crush the needy in court;

    22:23  For Yahweh will plead their case, And plunder the life of those who plunder them.

    22:24  Don't befriend a hot-tempered man, And don't associate with one who harbors anger:

    22:25  Lest you learn his ways, And ensnare your soul.

    22:26  Don't you be one of those who strike hands, Of those who are collateral for debts.

    22:27  If you don't have means to pay, Why should he take away your bed from under you?

    22:28  Don't move the ancient boundary stone, Which your fathers have set up.

    22:29  Do you see a man skilled in his work? He will serve kings; He won't serve obscure men.
