2 Rich and poor have this in common— Adonai is the Maker of them all.
3 A crafty person sees danger and hides, but the naïve keep going and suffer for it.
4 The reward of humility and fear of Adonai is riches, honor and life.
5 Thorns and snares are in the path of the perverse, but one who guards his soul stays far from them.
6 Train up a child in the way he should go, when he is old he will not turn from it.
7 The rich rule over the poor, the borrower is a slave to the lender.
8 One who sows injustice will reap trouble, and the rod of his fury will perish.
