PROVERBS 22:9-16

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

¹⁰Cast out the scorner, and contention shall go out; yea, strife and ignominy shall cease.

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

¹²The eyes of the LORD 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 murdered in the streets.

¹⁴The mouth of strange women is a deep pit: he that is abhorred of the LORD 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, cometh only to want.
