New Testament

Proverbs 22:5-11 God's Word Translation (GW)

5. A devious person has thorns and traps ahead of him.Whoever guards himself will stay far away from them.

6. Train a child in the way he should go,and even when he is old he will not turn away from it.

7. A rich person rules poor people,and a borrower is a slave to a lender.

8. Whoever plants injustice will harvest trouble,and this weapon of his own fury will be destroyed.

9. Whoever is generous will be blessedbecause he has shared his food with the poor.

10. Drive out a mocker, and conflict will leave.Quarreling and abuse will stop.

11. Whoever loves a pure heart and whoever speaks graciouslyhas a king as his friend.
