Book 28 : KETUVIM - PROVERBS - Chapter 022
22:001
A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches, and
loving favour rather than silver and gold
22:002
The rich and the poor meet together--the HaShem is the
maker of them all
22:003
A prudent man seeth the evil, and hideth himself; but the
thoughtless pass on, and are punished
22:004
The reward of humility is the fear of HaShem, even riches,
and honour, and life
22:005
Thorns and snares are in the way of the froward; he that
keepeth his soul holdeth himself far from them
22:006
Train up a child in the way he should go, and even when he
is old, he will not depart from it
22:007
The rich ruleth over the poor, and the borrower is servant
to the lender
22:008
He that soweth iniquity shall reap vanity; and the rod of
his wrath shall fail
22:009
He that hath a bountiful eye shall be blessed; for he
giveth of his bread to the poor
22:010
Cast out the scorner, and contention will go out; yea,
strife and shame will cease
22:011
He that loveth pureness of heart, that hath grace in his
lips, the king shall be his friend
22:012
The eyes of HaShem preserve him that hath knowledge, but
He overthroweth the words of the faithless man
22:013
The sluggard saith: 'There is a lion without; I shall be
slain in the streets.
22:014
The mouth of strange women is a deep pit: he that is
abhorred of HaShem shall fall therein
22:015
Foolishness is bound up in the heart of a child; but the
rod of correction shall drive it far from him
22:016
One may oppress the poor, yet will their gain increase;
one may give to the rich, yet will want come
22:017
Incline thine ear, and hear the words of the wise, and
apply thy heart unto my knowledge
22:018
For it is a pleasant thing if thou keep them within thee;
let them be established altogether upon thy lips
22:019
That thy trust may be in HaShem, I have made them known to
thee this day, even to thee
22:020
Have not I written unto thee excellent things of counsels
and knowledge
22:021
That I might make thee know the certainty of the words of
truth, that thou mightest bring back words of truth to them that send thee
22:022
Rob not the weak, because he is weak, neither crush the
poor in the gate
22:023
For HaShem will plead their cause, and despoil of life
those that despoil them
22:024
Make no friendship with a man that is given to anger; and
with a wrathful man thou shalt not go
22:025
Lest thou learn his ways, and get a snare to thy soul
22:026
Be thou not of them that strike hands, or of them that are
sureties for debts
22:027
If thou hast not wherewith to pay, why should he take away
thy bed from under thee
22:028
Remove not the ancient landmark, which thy fathers have
set
22:029
Seest thou a man diligent in his business? he shall stand
before kings; he shall not stand before mean men
