What does Proverbs 22:1-9 mean? Commentary, explanation and study verse by verse.
A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches, and lovinga favour rather than silver and gold.
The rich and poor meet together: the LORD is the maker of them all.
A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself: but the simple pass on, and are punished.
Byb humility and the fear of the LORD are riches, and honour, and life.
Thorns and snares are in the way of the froward: he that doth keep his soul shall be far from them.
Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.
The rich ruleth over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender.c
He that soweth iniquity shall reap vanity: and the rodd of his anger shall fail.
He that hath a bountiful eye shall be blessed; for he giveth of his bread to the poor.
