Proverbs 22:4-10 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

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.

9. He who is generous will be blessed, For he gives some of his food to the poor.

10. Drive out the scoffer, and contention will go out, Even strife and dishonor will cease.
