1 Choose a good reputation over great riches;being held in high esteem is better than silver or gold.
2 The rich and poor have this in common:The lord made them both.
3 A prudent person foresees danger and takes precautions.The simpleton goes blindly on and suffers the consequences.
4 True humility and fear of the lordlead to riches, honor, and long life.
5 Corrupt people walk a thorny, treacherous road;whoever values life will avoid it.
6 Direct your children onto the right path,and when they are older, they will not leave it.
7 Just as the rich rule the poor,so the borrower is servant to the lender.
