1. You should want a good name more than you want great riches. To be highly respected is better than having silver or gold.
2. The Lord made rich people and poor people. That's what they have in common.
3. Wise people see danger and go to a safe place. But childish people keep going and suffer for it.
4. Have respect for the Lord and don't be proud. That will bring you wealth and honor and life.
5. Thorns and traps lie in the paths of evil people. But those who guard themselves stay far away from them.
