Proverbs 22:3-8 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

3. The prudent sees the evil and hides himself, But the naive go on, and are punished for it.

4. The reward of humility and the fear of the Lord Are riches, honor and life.

5. Thorns and snares are in the way of the perverse; He who guards himself will be far from them.

6. Train up a child in the way he should go, Even when he is old he will not depart from it.

7. The rich rules over the poor, And the borrower becomes the lender's slave.

8. He who sows iniquity will reap vanity, And the rod of his fury will perish.
