3 When a wise person sees danger ahead, he avoids it.But a foolish person keeps going and gets into trouble.
4 Respecting the Lord and not being proudwill bring you wealth, honor and life.
5 The lives of evil people are like paths covered with thorns and traps.People who protect themselves don’t have such problems.
6 Train a child how to live the right way.Then even when he is old, he will still live that way.
7 The rich rule over the poor.And borrowers become servants to those who lend.
8 A person who does evil things will receive trouble in return.Then he won’t be cruel to others any longer.
9 A generous person will be blessedbecause he shares his food with the poor.
