Proverbs 22:2-10 Tree Of Life Version (TLV)

2. Rich and poor have this in common— Adonai is the Maker of them all.

3. A crafty person sees danger and hides, but the naïve keep going and suffer for it.

4. The reward of humility and fear of Adonai is riches, honor and life.

5. Thorns and snares are in the path of the perverse, but one who guards his soul stays far from them.

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

7. The rich rule over the poor, the borrower is a slave to the lender.

8. One who sows injustice will reap trouble, and the rod of his fury will perish.

9. One with a bountiful eye will be blessed, for he shares his bread with the poor.

10. Throw out a scoffer and strife will go out, quarreling and disgrace will cease.
