Proverbs 22:7-16

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.

¹⁰Drive away the scorner, and strife will go off; and then will cease contention and dishonor.

¹¹He that loveth with a pure heart, and hath grace on his lips, will have the king as his friend.

¹²The eyes of the Lord guard knowledge, and he overturneth the words of the treacherous.

¹³The slothful saith, There is a lion without, in the midst of the streets shall I be murdered.

¹⁴A deep pit is the mouth of adulterous women: he that hath obtained the indignation of the Lord will fall thereinto.

¹⁵When folly is bound fast to the heart of a lad, the rod of correction must remove it far from him.

¹⁶He that oppresseth the poor to increase his riches, must at length give to the rich, and come only to want.
