✧1A [good] name is rather to be chosen than great riches, [And] loving favor rather than silver and gold. ✧2The rich and the poor meet together: Jehovah is the maker of them all. ✧3A prudent man seeth the evil, and hideth himself; But the simple pass on, and suffer for it. ✧4The reward of humility [and] the fear of Jehovah [Is] riches, and honor, and life. ✧5Thorns [and] snares are in the way of the perverse: He that keepeth his soul shall be far from them. ✧6Train up a child in the way he should go, And even when he is old he will not depart from it. ✧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.
