1
A good name is to be chosen rather than great riches, and favor rather than silver and gold.
2
The rich and the poor have this in common: the Lord is the Maker of them all.
3
A prudent man foresees the evil and hides himself, but the simple pass on and are punished.
4
By humility and the fear of the Lord are riches and honor and life.
5
Thorns and snares are in the way of the perverse; he who guards his soul will 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 it.
7
The rich rules over the poor, and the borrower is the slave of the lender.
8
He who sows injustice will reap iniquity, and the rod of his wrath will disappear.
9
He who has a generous eye will be blessed, for he gives of his bread to the poor.
10
Cast out the scoffer, and contention will leave; indeed, strife and shame will cease.
11
He who loves a pure heart and speaks gracefully, the king will be his friend.
12
The eyes of the Lord preserve knowledge, and He overthrows the words of the unfaithful.
13
The sluggard says, “There is a lion outside! I will be killed in the streets!”
14
The mouth of an immoral woman is a deep pit; he who is under the wrath of the Lord will fall into it.
15
Folly is bound up in the heart of a child, but the rod of correction will drive it far from him.
16
He who oppresses the poor to increase his wealth, and he who gives to the rich, will surely come to poverty.
17
Incline your ear, and hear the words of the wise, and apply your heart to my teaching,
18
for it is a pleasant thing if you keep them within you, and if all of them are ready on your lips.
19
So that your trust may be in the Lord, I have instructed you today, even you.
20
Have I not written for you thirty sayings of counsel and knowledge,
21
to make you know the certainty of the sayings of truth, that you might answer sayings of truth to those who sent you?
22
Exploit not the poor, because he is poor, and oppress not the afflicted at the gate,
23
for the Lord will plead their cause, and plunder the soul of those who plunder them.
24
Make no friendship with a man of anger, and with a man of fury do not associate,
25
lest you learn his ways and ensnare your soul.
26
Be not one of those who shakes hands in a pledge, or of those who are collateral for loans.
27
If you have nothing with which to pay, why should he take away your bed from under you?
28
Remove not the ancient landmark that your fathers have set.
29
Do you see a man who excels in his work? He will stand before kings; he will not stand before obscure men.
