6Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it.
7The rich rule over the poor. The borrower is servant to the lender.
8He who sows wickedness reaps trouble, and the rod of his fury will be destroyed.
9He who has a generous eye will be blessed; for he shares his food with the poor.
10Divorce the mocker, and strife will go out; yes, quarrels and insults will stop.
11He who 'ahav ·affectionately loves· purity of heart and speaks chen ·gracefully· is the king’s friend.
12Adonai ’s eyes watch over knowledge; but he frustrates the words of the unfaithful.
13The sluggard says, “There is a lion outside! I will be killed in the streets!”
14The mouth of an adulteress is a deep pit: he who is under Adonai ’s wrath will fall into it.
15Folly is bound up in the heart of a child: the rod of discipline drives it far from him.
16Whoever oppresses the poor for his own increase and whoever gives to the rich, both come to poverty.
17Turn your ear, and sh'ma ·hear obey· the words of the wise. Apply your heart to my teaching.
18For it is a pleasant thing if you keep them within you, if all of them are ready on your lips.
