✧1A [good] name [is] rather to be chosen than great riches, [and] loving favour rather than silver and gold. ✧2The rich and poor meet together: the LORD [is] the maker of them all. ✧3A prudent [man] foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself: but the simple pass on, and are punished. ✧4By humility [and] the fear of the LORD [are] riches, and honour, and life. ✧5Thorns [and] snares [are] in the way of the froward: he that doth keep his soul shall be far from them. ✧6Train up a child in the way he should go: and 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 vanity: and the rod of his anger shall fail.
