Proverbs
Chapters 22:7-13
Amplified Bible
7The rich rule over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender.
8He who sows iniquity will reap calamity and futility, and the rod of his wrath [with which he smites others] will fail.
9He who has a bountiful eye shall be blessed, for he gives of his bread to the poor. [II Cor. 9:6-10.]
10Drive out the scoffer, and contention will go out; yes, strife and abuse will cease.
11He who loves purity and the pure in heart and who is gracious in speech–because of the grace of his lips will he have the king for his friend.
12The eyes of the Lord keep guard over knowledge and him who has it, but He overthrows the words of the treacherous.
13The sluggard says, There is a lion outside! I shall be slain in the streets!
