Proverbs 22:1-11 Darby Translation 1890 (DARBY)

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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