1 A good reputation is better than much wealth;high esteem is better than silver and gold.
2 The rich and the poor have this in common:the Lord made them both.
3 Prudent people see trouble and hide,while the simpleminded go right to it and get punished.
4 The reward of humility and the fear of the Lordis wealth, honor, and life.
5 Thorns and nets are in the path of the crooked;those who guard their lives keep their distance.
6 Train children in the way they should go;when they grow old, they won’t depart from it.
