2 Rich and poor have a common bond:the Lord is the maker of them all.
3 The astute see an evil and hide,while the naive continue on and pay the penalty.
4 The result of humility and fear of the Lordis riches, honor and life.
5 Thorns and snares are on the path of the crooked;those who would safeguard their lives will avoid them.
6 Train the young in the way they should go;even when old, they will not swerve from it.
7 The rich rule over the poor,and the borrower is the slave of the lender.
8 Those who sow iniquity reap calamity,and the rod used in anger will fail.
