Proverbs 22:2-7 in Translation for Translators

2 There is one thing that is true about both rich people and poor people: Yahweh is the one who created all of them.
3 Those who have good sense realize that there is something dangerous ahead, and they avoid it; those who do not have good sense just keep going and later they will suffer because of doing that.
4 The reward that Yahweh gives to those who are humble and who revere him is that he causes them to be rich and honored and to live for a long time.
5 Because of the things that wicked people do, they have difficulties/troubles that will be like thorns and traps on the roads that they walk on MET; people who are careful/cautious will be able to stay away from those difficulties.
6 If you train/teach children to do what is right, all during their life they will act/behave in that manner.
7 Rich people rule over poor people harshly, and those who borrow money become like slaves MET of the people who lend money to them.
