Proverbs 22:3-10

³Those 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.

⁴The 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.

⁵Because 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.

⁶If you train/teach children to do what is right, all during their life they will act/behave in that manner.

⁷Rich people rule over poor people harshly, and those who borrow money become like slaves MET of the people who lend money to them.

⁸If you plant corn or rice, corn or rice will grow; similarly, if you act unjustly, you will have disasters MET; and if you try to harm/oppress people because you are angry with them, you will not be able to harm them.

⁹God will bless those who are generous IDM, those who give some of their food to poor people.

¹⁰If you get rid of those who make fun of everything that is good, there will no more arguing or quarreling or insulting other people.
