Proverbs 22:1-5 Darby Translation 1890 (DARBY)

1. A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches; loving favour rather than silver and gold.

2. The rich and poor meet together; Jehovah is the maker of them all.

3. A prudent man seeth the evil, and hideth himself; but the simple pass on, and are punished.

4. The reward of humility and the fear of Jehovah is riches, and honour, and life.

5. Thorns and snares are in the way of the perverse: he that keepeth his soul holdeth himself far from them.
