2The man of wealth and the poor man come face to face: the Lord is the maker of them all.
3The sharp man sees the evil and takes cover: the simple go straight on and get into trouble.
4The reward of a gentle spirit and the fear of the Lord is wealth and honour and life.
5Thorns and nets are in the way of the twisted: he who keeps watch over his soul will be far from them.
6If a child is trained up in the right way, even when he is old he will not be turned away from it.
