Proverbs - Chapter: 22

>
22:1A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches, and loving favour rather than silver and gold.
22:2The rich and poor meet together: the LORD is the maker of them all.
22:3A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself: but the simple pass on, and are punished.
22:4By humility and the fear of the LORD are riches, and honour, and life.
22:5Thorns and snares are in the way of the froward: he that doth keep his soul shall be far from them.
22:6Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.
22:7The rich ruleth over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender.
22:8He that soweth iniquity shall reap vanity: and the rod of his anger shall fail.
22:9He that hath a bountiful eye shall be blessed; for he giveth of his bread to the poor.
22:10Cast out the scorner, and contention shall go out; yea, strife and reproach shall cease.
22:11He that loveth pureness of heart, for the grace of his lips the king shall be his friend.
22:12The eyes of the LORD preserve knowledge, and he overthroweth the words of the transgressor.
22:13The slothful man saith, There is a lion without, I shall be slain in the streets.
22:14The mouth of strange women is a deep pit: he that is abhorred of the LORD shall fall therein.
22:15Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child; but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him.
22:16He that oppresseth the poor to increase his riches, and he that giveth to the rich, shall surely come to want.
22:17Bow down thine ear, and hear the words of the wise, and apply thine heart unto my knowledge.
22:18For it is a pleasant thing if thou keep them within thee; they shall withal be fitted in thy lips.
22:19That thy trust may be in the LORD, I have made known to thee this day, even to thee.
22:20Have not I written to thee excellent things in counsels and knowledge,
22:21That I might make thee know the certainty of the words of truth; that thou mightest answer the words of truth to them that send unto thee?
22:22Rob not the poor, because he is poor: neither oppress the afflicted in the gate:
22:23For the LORD will plead their cause, and spoil the soul of those that spoiled them.
22:24Make no friendship with an angry man; and with a furious man thou shalt not go:
22:25Lest thou learn his ways, and get a snare to thy soul.
22:26Be not thou one of them that strike hands, or of them that are sureties for debts.
22:27If thou hast nothing to pay, why should he take away thy bed from under thee?
22:28Remove not the ancient landmark, which thy fathers have set.
22:29Seest thou a man diligent in his business? he shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean men.

22:28אל תסג גבול עולם אשׁר עשׂו אבותיך׃
22:29חזית אישׁ מהיר במלאכתו לפני מלכים יתיצב בל יתיצב לפני חשׁכים׃

 

22:1A name is chosen rather than much wealth, Than silver and than gold -- good grace.
22:2Rich and poor have met together, The Maker of them all `is' Jehovah.
22:3The prudent hath seen the evil, and is hidden, And the simple have passed on, and are punished.
22:4The end of humility `is' the fear of Jehovah, Riches, and honour, and life.
22:5Thorns -- snares `are' in the way of the perverse, Whoso is keeping his soul is far from them.
22:6Give instruction to a youth about his way, Even when he is old he turneth not from it.
22:7The rich over the poor ruleth, And a servant `is' the borrower to the lender.
22:8Whoso is sowing perverseness reapeth sorrow, And the rod of his anger weareth out.
22:9The good of eye -- he is blessed, For he hath given of his bread to the poor.
22:10Cast out a scorner -- and contention goeth out, And strife and shame cease.
22:11Whoso is loving cleanness of heart, Grace `are' his lips, a king `is' his friend.
22:12The eyes of Jehovah have kept knowledge, And He overthroweth the words of the treacherous.
22:13The slothful hath said, `A lion `is' without, In the midst of the broad places I am slain.'
22:14A deep pit `is' the mouth of strange women, The abhorred of Jehovah falleth there.
22:15Folly is bound up in the heart of a youth, The rod of chastisement putteth it far from him.
22:16He is oppressing the poor to multiply to him, He is giving to the rich -- only to want.
22:17Incline thine ear, and hear words of the wise, And thy heart set to my knowledge,
22:18For they are pleasant when thou dost keep them in thy heart, They are prepared together for thy lips.
22:19That thy trust may be in Jehovah, I caused thee to know to-day, even thou.
22:20Have I not written to thee three times With counsels and knowledge?
22:21To cause thee to know the certainty of sayings of truth, To return sayings of truth to those sending thee.
22:22Rob not the poor because he `is' poor, And bruise not the afflicted in the gate.
22:23For Jehovah pleadeth their cause, And hath spoiled the soul of their spoilers.
22:24Shew not thyself friendly with an angry man, And with a man of fury go not in,
22:25Lest thou learn his paths, And have received a snare to thy soul.
22:26Be not thou among those striking hands, Among sureties `for' burdens.
22:27If thou hast nothing to pay, Why doth he take thy bed from under thee?
22:28Remove not a border of olden times, That thy fathers have made.
22:29Hast thou seen a man speedy in his business? Before kings he doth station himself, He stations not himself before obscure men!
