Proverbs

³A prudent man seeth the evil, and hideth himself; But the simple pass on, and suffer for it. ⁴The reward of humility and the fear of Jehovah Is riches, and honor, and life. ⁵Thorns and snares are in the way of the perverse: He that keepeth his soul shall be far from them. ⁶Train up a child in the way he should go, And even when he is old he will not depart from it. ⁷The rich ruleth over the poor; And the borrower is servant to the lender. ⁸He that soweth iniquity shall reap calamity; And the rod of his wrath shall fail. ⁹He that hath a bountiful eye shall be blessed; For he giveth of his bread to the poor.
