New Testament

Proverbs 22:6-15 God's Word Translation (GW)

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.

12. The Lord’s eyes watch over knowledge,but he overturns the words of a treacherous person.

13. A lazy person says,“There’s a lion outside!I’ll be murdered in the streets!”

14. The mouth of an adulterous woman is a deep pit.The one who is cursed by the Lord will fall into it.

15. Foolishness is firmly attached to a child’s heart.Spanking will remove it far from him.
