Proverbs 22:6-14

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.

⁸By planting the seed of evil a man will get in the grain of sorrow, and the rod of his wrath will be broken.

⁹He who is kind will have a blessing, for he gives of his bread to the poor.

¹⁰Send away the man of pride, and argument will go out; truly fighting and shame will come to an end.

¹¹He whose heart is clean is dear to the Lord; for the grace of his lips the king will be his friend.

¹²The eyes of the Lord keep knowledge, but by him the acts of the false man will be overturned.

¹³The hater of work says, There is a lion outside: I will be put to death in the streets.

¹⁴The mouth of strange women is a deep hole: he with whom the Lord is angry will go down into it.
