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.
7The man of wealth has rule over the poor, and he who gets into debt is a servant to his creditor.
