New Testament

Proverbs 22:1-9 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

1. Being respected is more important than having great riches.To be well thought of is better than owning silver or gold.

2. The rich and the poor are alikein that the Lord made them all.

3. When a wise person sees danger ahead, he avoids it.But a foolish person keeps going and gets into trouble.

4. Respecting the Lord and not being proudwill bring you wealth, honor and life.

5. The lives of evil people are like paths covered with thorns and traps.People who protect themselves don’t have such problems.

6. Train a child how to live the right way.Then even when he is old, he will still live that way.

7. The rich rule over the poor.And borrowers become servants to those who lend.

8. A person who does evil things will receive trouble in return.Then he won’t be cruel to others any longer.

9. A generous person will be blessedbecause he shares his food with the poor.
