Proverbs 22:1-5 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

1. A good name is to be chosen over great wealth;favor is better than silver and gold.

2. The rich and the poor have this in common: the Lord made them both.

3. A sensible person sees danger and takes cover,but the inexperienced keep going and are punished.

4. The result of humility is fear of the Lord,along with wealth, honor, and life.

5. There are thorns and snares on the path of the crooked; the one who guards himself stays far from them.
