Proverbs 22:3-13

Proverbs 22:3-13

[3] A prudent  man foreseeth  the evil,  and hideth  himself: but the simple  pass on,  and are punished.  [4] By  humility  and the fear  of the LORD  are riches,  and honour,  and life.  [5] Thorns  and snares  are in the way  of the froward:  he that doth keep  his soul  shall be far  [6] Train up  a child  in the way  he should go:  and when he is old,  he will not depart  [7] The rich  ruleth  over the poor,  and the borrower  is servant  to the lender.  [8] He that soweth  iniquity  shall reap  and the rod  of his anger  shall fail.  [9] He that hath a bountiful  eye  shall be blessed;  for he giveth  of his bread  to the poor.  [10] Cast out  the scorner,  and contention  shall go out;  yea, strife  and reproach  shall cease.  [11] He that loveth  pureness  for the grace  of his lips  the king  shall be his friend.  [12] The eyes  of the LORD  preserve  knowledge,  and he overthroweth  the words  of the transgressor.  [13] The slothful  man saith,  There is a lion  without,  I shall be slain  in  the streets.
