¹ A GOOD name is rather to be chosen than great riches, and loving favor rather than silver and gold.

² The rich and poor meet together: Yahuah is the Maker of them all.

³ A prudent man forsees the evil, and hides himself: but the simple pass on, and are punished.

⁴ By humility and the fear of Yahuah are riches, and honor, and life.

⁵ Thorns and snares are in the way of the froward: he that guards his soul shall be far from them.

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

⁷ The rich rules over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender.

⁸ He that sows iniquity shall reap vanity: and the rod of his anger shall fail.

⁹ He that has a bountiful eye shall be blessed; for he gives 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 loves pureness of heart, for the grace of his lips the king shall be his friend.

¹² The eyes of Yahuah preserve knowledge, and he overthrows the words of the transgressor.

¹³ The slothful man says, There is a lion without, I shall be slain in the streets.

¹⁴ The mouth of strange women is a deep pit: he that is abhorred of Yahuah shall fall therein.

¹⁵ Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child; but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him.

¹⁶ He that oppresses the poor to increase his riches, and he that gives to the rich, shall surely come to want.

¹⁷ Bow down your ear, and hear the words of the wise, and apply your heart unto my knowledge.

¹⁸ For it is a pleasant thing if you guard them within you; they shall withal be fitted in your lips.

¹⁹ That your trust may be in Yahuah, I have made known to you this day, even to you.

²⁰ Have not I written to you excellent things in counsels and knowledge,

²¹ That I might make you know the certainty of the words of truth; that you might answer the words of truth to them that send unto you?

²² Rob not the poor, because he is poor: neither oppress the afflicted in the gate:

²³ For Yahuah will plead their cause, and spoil the soul of those that spoiled them.

²⁴ Make no friendship with an angry man; and with a furious man you shall not go:

²⁵ Lest you learn his ways, and get a snare to your soul.

²⁶ Be not one of them that strike hands, or of them that are sureties for debts.

²⁷ If you have nothing to pay, why should he take away your bed from under you?

²⁸ Remove not the ancient landmark, which your fathers have set.

²⁹ See a man diligent in his business? he shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean men.
