1A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches,
2The rich and poor meet together:
3A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself:
4By humility and the fear of the Lord
5Thorns and snares are in the way of the froward:
6Train up a child in the way he should go:
7The rich ruleth over the poor,
8He that soweth iniquity shall reap vanity:
9He that hath a bountiful eye shall be blessed;
10Cast out the scorner, and contention shall go out;
11He that loveth pureness of heart,
12The eyes of the Lord preserve knowledge,
13The slothful man saith, There is a lion without,
14The mouth of strange women is a deep pit:
15Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child;
16He that oppresseth the poor to increase his riches,
17Bow down thine ear, and hear the words of the wise,
18For it is a pleasant thing if thou keep them within thee;
19That thy trust may be in the Lord,
20Have not I written to thee excellent things
21That I might make thee know the certainty of the words of truth;
22Rob not the poor, because he is poor:
23For the Lord will plead their cause,
24Make no friendship with an angry man;
25Lest thou learn his ways,
26Be not thou one of them that strike hands,
27If thou hast nothing to pay,
28Remove not the ancient landmark,
29Seest thou a man diligent in his business?
