22:1	A [good] name is to be more desired than great riches, Favor is better than silver and gold.
22:2	The rich and the poor have a common bond, The LORD is the maker of them all.
22:3	The prudent sees the evil and hides himself, But the naive go on, and are punished for it.
22:4	The reward of humility [and] the fear of the LORD Are riches, honor and life.
22:5	Thorns [and] snares are in the way of the perverse; He who guards himself will be far from them.
22:6	Train up a child in the way he should go, Even when he is old he will not depart from it.
22:7	The rich rules over the poor, And the borrower [becomes] the lender's slave.
22:8	He who sows iniquity will reap vanity, And the rod of his fury will perish.
22:9	He who is generous will be blessed, For he gives some of his food to the poor.
22:10	Drive out the scoffer, and contention will go out, Even strife and dishonor will cease.
22:11	He who loves purity of heart [And] whose speech is gracious, the king is his friend.
22:12	The eyes of the LORD preserve knowledge, But He overthrows the words of the treacherous man.
22:13	The sluggard says, "There is a lion outside; I shall be slain in the streets!"
22:14	The mouth of an adulteress is a deep pit; He who is cursed of the LORD will fall into it.

22:16	He who oppresses the poor to make much for himself Or who gives to the rich, [will] only [come to] poverty.
22:17	Incline your ear and hear the words of the wise, And apply your mind to my knowledge;
22:18	For it will be pleasant if you keep them within you, That they may be ready on your lips.
22:19	So that your trust may be in the LORD, I have taught you today, even you.
22:20	Have I not written to you excellent things Of counsels and knowledge,
22:21	To make you know the certainty of the words of truth That you may correctly answer to him who sent you?
22:22	Do not rob the poor because he is poor, Or crush the afflicted at the gate;
22:23	For the LORD will plead their case, And take the life of those who rob them.
22:24	Do not associate with a man [given] to anger; Or go with a hot-tempered man,
22:25	Lest you learn his ways, And find a snare for yourself.
22:26	Do not be among those who give pledges, Among those who become sureties for debts.
