5 Thorns and snares are in the way of the perverse;He who guards his soul will be far from them.
6 Train up a child in the way he should go,And when he is old he will not depart from it.
7 The rich rules over the poor,And the borrower is servant to the lender.
8 He who sows iniquity will reap sorrow,And the rod of his anger will fail.
9 He who has a generous eye will be blessed,For he gives of his bread to the poor.
10 Cast out the scoffer, and contention will leave;Yes, strife and reproach will cease.
11 He who loves purity of heartAnd has grace on his lips,The king will be his friend.
