Train up the child according to the tenor of his way, and when he is old he will not depart from it.

The rich ruleth over the poor; and the borrower is servant to the lender.

A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches; loving favour rather than silver and gold.

for Jehovah will plead their cause, and despoil the soul of those that despoil them.

Folly is bound in the heart of a child; the rod of correction shall drive it far from him.

Be not of them that strike hands, of them that are sureties for debts:

lest thou learn his paths, and get a snare to thy soul.

if thou hast nothing to pay, why should he take away thy bed from under thee?

The reward of humility and the fear of Jehovah is riches, and honour, and life.

He that oppresseth the poor, it is to enrich him; he that giveth to the rich, bringeth only to want.

Make no friendship with an angry man, and go not with a furious man;

A prudent man seeth the evil, and hideth himself; but the simple pass on, and are punished.

Remove not the ancient landmark which thy fathers have set.

Rob not the poor, because he is poor, neither oppress the afflicted in the gate;

The rich and poor meet together; Jehovah is the maker of them all.

Hast thou seen a man diligent in his work? He shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before the mean.

Incline thine ear, and hear the words of the wise, and apply thy heart unto my knowledge.

He that hath a bountiful eye shall be blessed, for he giveth of his bread to the poor.

Cast out the scorner, and contention will depart, and strife and ignominy shall cease.

Have not I written to thee excellent things, in counsels and knowledge,

The mouth of strange women is a deep ditch: he with whom Jehovah is displeased shall fall therein.

The sluggard saith, There is a lion without, I shall be killed in the streets!

He that soweth unrighteousness shall reap iniquity, and the rod of his wrath shall have an end.

Thorns and snares are in the way of the perverse: he that keepeth his soul holdeth himself far from them.

He that loveth pureness of heart, upon whose lips is grace, the king is his friend.

That thy confidence may be in Jehovah, I have made them known to thee this day, even to thee.

The eyes of Jehovah preserve knowledge; but he overthroweth the words of the unfaithful.

that I might make thee know the certainty of the words of truth; that thou mightest carry back words of truth to them that send thee?

For it is a pleasant thing if thou keep them within thee: they shall be together fitted on thy lips.
