Proverbs
Chapter 22
|
1 A GOOD name8034 is rather to be chosen977 than great7227 riches,6239 and loving2896 favor2580 rather than silver3701 and gold.2091
|
2 The rich6223 and poor7326 meet6298 together: the LORD3068 is the maker6213 of them all.3605
|
3 A prudent6175 man foresees7200 the evil,7451 and hides5641 himself: but the simple6612 pass5674 on, and are punished.6064
|
4 By humility6038 and the fear3374 of the LORD3068 are riches,6239 and honor,3519 and life.2416
|
5 Thorns6791 and snares6341 are in the way1870 of the fraudulent:6141 he that does keep8104 his soul5315 shall be far7368 from them.
|
6 Train2596 up a child5288 in the way1870 he should go:6310 and when3588 he is old,2204 he will not depart5493 from it.
|
7 The rich6223 rules4910 over the poor,7326 and the borrower3867 is servant5650 to the lender.3867
|
8 He that sows2232 iniquity5766 shall reap7114 vanity:205 and the rod7626 of his anger5678 shall fail.3615
|
9 He that has a bountiful2896 eye5869 shall be blessed;1288 for he gives5414 of his bread3899 to the poor.1800
|
10 Cast1644 out the scorner,3887 and contention4066 shall go3318 out; yes, strife1779 and reproach7036 shall cease.7673
|
11 He that loves157 pureness2890 of heart,3820 for the grace2580 of his lips8193 the king4428 shall be his friend.7453
|
12 The eyes5869 of the LORD3068 preserve5341 knowledge,1847 and he overthrows5557 the words1697 of the transgressor.898
|
13 The slothful6102 man said,559 There is a lion738 without,2351 I shall be slain7523 in the streets.7339
|
14 The mouth6310 of strange2114 women is a deep6013 pit:7745 he that is abhorred2194 of the LORD3068 shall fall5307 therein.8033
|
15 Foolishness200 is bound7194 in the heart3820 of a child;5288 but the rod7626 of correction4148 shall drive it far7368 from him.
|
16 He that oppresses6231 the poor1800 to increase7235 his riches, and he that gives5414 to the rich,6223 shall surely389 come to want.4270
|
17 Bow5186 down5186 your ear,241 and hear8085 the words1697 of the wise,2450 and apply7896 your heart3820 to my knowledge.1847
|
18 For it is a pleasant5273 thing if3588 you keep8104 them within990 you; they shall with3162 be fitted3559 in your lips.8193
|
19 That your trust4009 may be in the LORD,3068 I have made known3045 to you this day,3117 even637 to you.
|
20 Have not I written3789 to you excellent7991 things in counsels4156 and knowledge,1847
|
21 That I might make you know3045 the certainty7189 of the words561 of truth;571 that you might answer7725 the words561 of truth571 to them that send7971 to you?
|
22 Rob1497 not the poor,1800 because3588 he is poor:1800 neither3808 oppress1792 the afflicted6041 in the gate:8179
|
23 For the LORD3068 will plead7378 their cause,7379 and spoil6906 the soul5315 of those that spoiled6906 them.
|
24 Make no408 friendship7462 with an angry639 man;1167 and with a furious2534 man376 you shall not go:935
|
25 Lest6435 you learn502 his ways,734 and get3947 a snare4170 to your soul.5315
|
26 Be not you one of them that strike8628 hands,3709 or of them that are sureties6148 for debts.4859
|
27 If518 you have nothing369 to pay,7999 why4100 should he take3947 away your bed4904 from under8478 you?
|
28 Remove5253 not the ancient5769 landmark,1366 which834 your fathers1 have set.6213
|
29 See2372 you a man376 diligent4106 in his business?4399 he shall stand3320 before6440 kings;4428 he shall not stand3320 before6440 mean2823 men.
