Proverbs 22:7-15

⁷A rich man commandeth to poor men; and he that taketh borrowing, is servant of the lender.

⁸He that soweth wickedness shall reap evils; and the rod of his ire shall be ended.

⁹He that is ready to (give) mercy shall be blessed; for (out) of his loaves he gave (some) to a poor man.

¹⁰Cast thou out a scorner, and strife shall go out with him; and causes and despisings shall cease.

¹¹He that loveth the cleanness of heart, shall have the king (for) a friend, for the grace of his lips (or for the eloquence of his words).

¹²The eyes of the Lord keep knowing; and the words of a wicked man be deceived. (The eyes of the Lord keep knowledge safe; but the words of the wicked be deceitful.)

¹³A slow man shall say (or A lazy person shall say), A lion is withoutforth; I shall be slain in the midst of the streets.

¹⁴The mouth of an alien woman is a deep ditch; he to whom the Lord is wroth shall fall into it. (The mouth of a woman with whom thou hast been intimate, but who is not thy wife, is a deep ditch; he to whom the Lord is angry with, shall fall into it.)

¹⁵Folly is bound together in the heart of a child; and a rod of chastising shall drive it away. (Foolishness is bound up in a child’s heart, but the rod of discipline shall drive it away.)
