Proverbs 22:1-9

A good name is more desirable than great wealth. Respect is better than silver or gold. The rich and the poor have this in common: the LORD is the maker of them all. Sensible people foresee trouble and hide ⌞from it⌟, but gullible people go ahead and suffer ⌞the consequence⌟. On the heels of humility (the fear of the LORD) are riches and honor and life. A devious person has thorns and traps ahead of him. Whoever guards himself will stay far away from them. Train a child in the way he should go, and even when he is old he will not turn away from it. A rich person rules poor people, and a borrower is a slave to a lender. Whoever plants injustice will harvest trouble, and this weapon of his own fury will be destroyed. Whoever is generous will be blessed because he has shared his food with the poor.
