Proverbs 22:4-9

⁴The reward of humility and the fear of the Lord are riches and honor, and life.

⁵Thorns and snares are on the way of a perverse man: he that doth guard his soul will keep far from them.

⁶Train up the lad in accordance with his course: even when he groweth old, will he not depart from it.

⁷A rich man ruleth over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the man that lendeth.

⁸He that soweth injustice will reap wrong-doing; and the rod of God's wrath will not fail.

⁹A man of a benevolent eye will indeed be blessed; for he giveth of his bread to the poor.
