Proverbs

⁵Evil people are trapped by many troubles, but those who want to live avoid them. ⁶Teach children in a way that fits their needs, and even when they are old, they will not leave the right path. ⁷The rich rule over the poor. The one who borrows is a slave to the one who lends. ⁸Those who spread trouble will harvest trouble. In the end, they will be destroyed for the trouble they caused. ⁹Generous people will be blessed, because they share their food with the poor. ¹⁰Get rid of the proud who laugh at what is right, and trouble will leave with them. All arguments and insults will end. ¹¹Love a pure heart and kind words, and the king will be your friend.
