Part 23

20:021:031 The horse is prepared against the day of battle: but safety is of the LORD.

20:022:001 A GOOD name is rather to be chosen than great riches, and loving favour rather than silver and gold.

20:022:002 The rich and poor meet together: the LORD is the maker of them all.

20:022:003 A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself: but the simple pass on, and are punished.

20:022:004 By humility and the fear of the LORD are riches, and honour, and life.

20:022:005 Thorns and snares are in the way of the froward: he that doth keep his soul shall be far from them.

20:022:006 Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.

20:022:007 The rich ruleth over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender.

20:022:008 He that soweth iniquity shall reap vanity: and the rod of his anger shall fail.

20:022:009 He that hath a bountiful eye shall be blessed; for he giveth of his bread to the poor.

20:022:010 Cast out the scorner, and contention shall go out; yea, strife and reproach shall cease.

20:022:011 He that loveth pureness of heart, for the grace of his lips the king shall be his friend.

20:022:012 The eyes of the LORD preserve knowledge, and he overthroweth the words of the transgressor.

20:022:013 The slothful man saith, There is a lion without, I shall be slain in the streets.

20:022:014 The mouth of strange women is a deep pit: he that is abhorred of the LORD shall fall therein.

20:022:015 Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child; but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him.

20:022:016 He that oppresseth the poor to increase his riches, and he that giveth to the rich, shall surely come to want.

20:022:017 Bow down thine ear, and hear the words of the wise, and apply thine heart unto my knowledge.

20:022:018 For it is a pleasant thing if thou keep them within thee; they shall withal be fitted in thy lips.

20:022:019 That thy trust may be in the LORD, I have made known to thee this day, even to thee.

20:022:020 Have not I written to thee excellent things in counsels and knowledge,

20:022:021 That I might make thee know the certainty of the words of truth; that thou mightest answer the words of truth to them that send unto thee?

20:022:022 Rob not the poor, because he is poor: neither oppress the afflicted in the gate:

20:022:023 For the LORD will plead their cause, and spoil the soul of those that spoiled them.

20:022:024 Make no friendship with an angry man; and with a furious man thou shalt not go:

20:022:025 Lest thou learn his ways, and get a snare to thy soul.

20:022:026 Be not thou one of them that strike hands, or of them that are sureties for debts.

20:022:027 If thou hast nothing to pay, why should he take away thy bed from under thee?
