2The rich and the poor have this in common: the Lord created them all.
3If you're sensible you see danger coming and get out of the way; but stupid people just keep going and pay for it.
4The reward you receive for being humble and respecting the Lord is wealth, honor, and life.
5Thorns and traps lie in the path of crooked people; those who value their lives will stay away from them.
6Teach children the right way to live, and when they grow up they'll go on doing so.
