Proverbs

⁵Thorns and snares are in the way of the froward: 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. ¹⁰Cast out the scorner, and contention shall go out; yea, strife and ignominy shall cease. ¹¹He that loveth pureness of heart, for the grace of his lips the king shall be his friend.
