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.
7 The wealthy rule over the poor;a borrower is a slave to a lender.
8 Those who sow injustice will harvest evil;the rod of their fury will come to an end.
9 Happy are generous people,because they give some of their food to the poor.
