1 A good name 8034 is rather to be chosen 977 than great 7227 riches 6239, and loving 2896 favour 2580 rather than silver 3701 and gold 2091.
2 The rich 6223 and poor 7326 meet together 6298: the LORD 3068 is the maker 6213 of them all.
3 A prudent 6175 man foreseeth 7200 the evil 7451, and hideth 5641 5641 himself: but the simple 6612 pass on 5674, and are punished 6064.
4 By 6118 humility 6038 and the fear 3374 of the LORD 3068 are riches 6239, and honour 3519, and life 2416.
5 Thorns 6791 and snares 6341 are in the way 1870 of the froward 6141: he that doth keep 8104 his soul 5315 shall be far 7368 from them.
6 Train up 2596 a child 5288 in the way 1870 he should go 6310: and when he is old 2204, he will not depart 5493 from it.
7 The rich 6223 ruleth 4910 over the poor 7326, and the borrower 3867 is servant 5650 to the lender 376 3867.
8 He that soweth 2232 iniquity 5766 shall reap 7114 vanity 205: and the rod 7626 of his anger 5678 shall fail 3615.
9 He that hath a bountiful 2896 eye 5869 shall be blessed 1288; for he giveth 5414 of his bread 3899 to the poor 1800.
10 Cast out 1644 the scorner 3887, and contention 4066 shall go out 3318; yea, strife 1779 and reproach 7036 shall cease 7673.
11 He that loveth 157 pureness 2890 2889 of heart 3820, for the grace 2580 of his lips 8193 the king 4428 shall be his friend 7453.
12 The eyes 5869 of the LORD 3068 preserve 5341 knowledge 1847, and he overthroweth 5557 the words 1697 of the transgressor 898.
13 The slothful 6102 man saith 559, There is a lion 738 without 2351, I shall be slain 7523 in 8432 the streets 7339.
14 The mouth 6310 of strange 2114 women is a deep 6013 pit 7745: he that is abhorred 2194 of the LORD 3068 shall fall 5307 therein.
15 Foolishness 200 is bound 7194 in the heart 3820 of a child 5288; but the rod 7626 of correction 4148 shall drive it far 7368 from him.
16 He that oppresseth 6231 the poor 1800 to increase 7235 his riches, and he that giveth 5414 to the rich 6223, shall surely come to want 4270.
17 Bow down 5186 thine ear 241, and hear 8085 the words 1697 of the wise 2450, and apply 7896 thine heart 3820 unto my knowledge 1847.
18 For it is a pleasant thing 5273 if thou keep 8104 them within 990 thee; they shall withal 3162 be fitted 3559 in thy lips 8193.
19 That thy trust 4009 may be in the LORD 3068, I have made known 3045 to thee this day 3117, even to thee.
20 Have not I written 3789 to thee 8032 excellent things 7991 in counsels 4156 and knowledge 1847,
21 That I might make thee know 3045 the certainty 7189 of the words 561 of truth 571; that thou mightest answer 7725 the words 561 of truth 571 to them that send 7971 unto thee?
22 Rob 1497 not the poor 1800, because he is poor 1800: neither oppress 1792 the afflicted 6041 in the gate 8179:
23 For the LORD 3068 will plead 7378 their cause 7379, and spoil 6906 the soul 5315 of those that spoiled 6906 them.
24 Make no friendship 7462 with an angry 639 man 1167; and with a furious 2534 man 376 thou shalt not go 935:
25 Lest thou learn 502 his ways 734, and get 3947 a snare 4170 to thy soul 5315.
26 Be not thou one of them that strike 8628 hands 3709, or of them that are sureties 6148 for debts 4859.
27 If thou hast nothing to pay 7999, why should he take away 3947 thy bed 4904 from under thee?
28 Remove 5253 not the ancient 5769 landmark 1366, which thy fathers 1 have set 6213.
29 Seest 2372 thou a man 376 diligent 4106 in his business 4399? he shall stand 3320 before 6440 kings 4428; he shall not stand 3320 before 6440 mean 2823 men.
