Proverbs 22:7-16

⁷The rich ruleth over the poor; And the borrower is servant to the lender.

⁸He that soweth iniquity shall reap calamity; And the rod of his wrath shall fail.

⁹He that hath a bountiful eye shall be blessed; For he giveth of his bread to the poor.

¹⁰Cast out the scoffer, and contention will go out; Yea, strife and ignominy will cease.

¹¹He that loveth pureness of heart, For the grace of his lips the king will be his friend.

¹²The eyes of Jehovah preserve him that hath knowledge; But he overthroweth the words of the treacherous man.

¹³The sluggard saith, There is a lion without; I shall be slain in the streets.

¹⁴The mouth of strange women is a deep pit; He that is abhorred of Jehovah shall fall therein.

¹⁵Foolishness is bound up in the heart of a child; But the rod of correction shall drive it far from him.

¹⁶He that oppresseth the poor to increase his gain, And he that giveth to the rich, shall come only to want.
