1 A good reputation is rather to be chosen than great riches and good grace rather than silver and gold.
2 The rich and poor meet together; the Lord is the maker of them all.
3 A prudent man foresees the evil and hides himself, but the simple pass on and receive hurt.
4 Riches and honour and life are the remuneration of humility and of the fear of the Lord.
5 Thorns and snares are in the way of the perverse; he that keeps his soul shall be far from them.
6 Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old, he will not depart from it.
7 The rich rules over the poor, and the borrower is slave to the lender.
