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
of
them
all.
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
from
them.
6
Train
up
a
child
in
the
way
he
should
go:
and
when
he
is
old,
he
will
not
depart
from
7
The
rich
ruleth
over
the
poor,
and
the
borrower
[is]
servant
to
the
lender.
8
He
that
soweth
iniquity
shall
reap
vanity:
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
of
heart,
[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
from
him.
16
He
that
oppresseth
the
poor
to
increase
his
[riches,
and]
he
that
giveth
to
the
rich,
[shall]
surely
[come]
to
want.
17
Bow
down
thine
ear,
and
hear
the
words
of
the
wise,
and
apply
thine
heart
unto
my
knowledge.
18
For
[it
is]
a
pleasant
thing
if
thou
keep
them
within
thee;
they
shall
withal
be
fitted
in
thy
lips.
19
That
thy
trust
may
be
in
the
LORD,
I
have
made
known
to
thee
this
day,
even
to
thee.
20
Have
not
I
written
to
thee
excellent
things
in
counsels
and
knowledge,
21
That
I
might
make
thee
know
the
certainty
of
the
words
of
truth;
that
thou
mightest
answer
the
words
of
truth
to
them
that
send
unto
thee?
22
Rob
not
the
poor,
because
he
[is]
poor:
neither
oppress
the
afflicted
in
the
gate:
23
For
the
LORD
will
plead
their
cause,
and
spoil
the
soul
of
those
that
spoiled
them.
24
Make
no
friendship
with
an
angry
man;
and
with
a
furious
man
thou
shalt
not
25
Lest
thou
learn
his
ways,
and
get
a
snare
to
thy
soul.
26
Be
not
thou
[one]
of
them
that
strike
hands,
[or]
of
them
that
are
sureties
for
debts.
27
If
thou
hast
nothing
to
pay,
why
should
he
take
away
thy
bed
from
under
thee?
28
Remove
not
the
ancient
landmark,
which
thy
fathers
have
set.
29
Seest
thou
a
man
diligent
in
his
business?
he
shall
stand
before
kings;
he
shall
not
stand
before
mean
[men].
