Proverbs 22

22:1
A [good] name
<08034>
[is] rather to be chosen
<0977> (8737)
than great
<07227>
riches
<06239>_,
[and] loving
<02896>
favour
<02580>
rather than silver
<03701>
and gold
<02091>_.
{loving...: or, favour is better than, etc}
22:2
The rich
<06223>
and poor
<07326> (8802)
meet together
<06298> (8738)_:
the LORD
<03068>
[is] the maker
<06213> (8802)
of them all.
22:3
A prudent
<06175>
[man] foreseeth
<07200> (8804)
the evil
<07451>_,
and hideth
<05641> (8738) (8675) <05641> (8799)
himself: but the simple
<06612>
pass on
<05674> (8804)_,
and are punished
<06064> (8738)_.
22:4
By
<06118>
humility
<06038>
[and] the fear
<03374>
of the LORD
<03068>
[are] riches
<06239>_,
and honour
<03519>_,
and life
<02416>_.
{By...: or, The reward of humility, etc}
22:5
Thorns
<06791>
[and] snares
<06341>
[are] in the way
<01870>
of the froward
<06141>_:
he that doth keep
<08104> (8802)
his soul
<05315>
shall be far
<07368> (8799)
from them.
22:6
Train up
<02596> (8798)
a child
<05288>
in the way
<01870>
he should go
<06310>_:
and when he is old
<02204> (8686)_,
he will not depart
<05493> (8799)
from it. {Train...: or, Catechise} {in...: Heb. in his way}
22:7
The rich
<06223>
ruleth
<04910> (8799)
over the poor
<07326> (8802)_,
and the borrower
<03867> (8801)
[is] servant
<05650>
to the lender
<0376> <03867> (8688)_.
{the lender: Heb. the man that lendeth}
22:8
He that soweth
<02232> (8802)
iniquity
<05766>
shall reap
<07114> (8799)
vanity
<0205>_:
and the rod
<07626>
of his anger
<05678>
shall fail
<03615> (8799)_.
{the rod...: or, with the rod of his anger he shall be consumed}
22:9
He that hath a bountiful
<02896>
eye
<05869>
shall be blessed
<01288> (8792)_;
for he giveth
<05414> (8804)
of his bread
<03899>
to the poor
<01800>_.
{He that...: Heb. Good of eye}
22:10
Cast out
<01644> (8763)
the scorner
<03887> (8801)_,
and contention
<04066>
shall go out
<03318> (8799)_;
yea, strife
<01779>
and reproach
<07036>
shall cease
<07673> (8799)_.
22:11
He that loveth
<0157> (8802)
pureness
<02890> (8675) <02889>
of heart
<03820>_,
[for] the grace
<02580>
of his lips
<08193>
the king
<04428>
[shall be] his friend
<07453>_.
{for...: or, and hath grace in his lips}
22:12
The eyes
<05869>
of the LORD
<03068>
preserve
<05341> (8804)
knowledge
<01847>_,
and he overthroweth
<05557> (8762)
the words
<01697>
of the transgressor
<0898> (8802)_.
{the words: or, the matters}
22:13
The slothful
<06102>
[man] saith
<0559> (8804)_,
[There is] a lion
<0738>
without
<02351>_,
I shall be slain
<07523> (8735)
in
<08432>
the streets
<07339>_.
22:14
The mouth
<06310>
of strange women
<02114> (8801)
[is] a deep
<06013>
pit
<07745>_:
he that is abhorred
<02194> (8803)
of the LORD
<03068>
shall fall
<05307> (8799)
therein.
22:15
Foolishness
<0200>
[is] bound
<07194> (8803)
in the heart
<03820>
of a child
<05288>_;
[but] the rod
<07626>
of correction
<04148>
shall drive it far
<07368> (8686)
from him.
22:16
He that oppresseth
<06231> (8802)
the poor
<01800>
to increase
<07235> (8687)
his [riches, and] he that giveth
<05414> (8802)
to the rich
<06223>_,
[shall] surely [come] to want
<04270>_.
22:17
Bow down
<05186> (8685)
thine ear
<0241>_,
and hear
<08085> (8798)
the words
<01697>
of the wise
<02450>_,
and apply
<07896> (8799)
thine heart
<03820>
unto my knowledge
<01847>_.
22:18
For [it is] a pleasant thing
<05273>
if thou keep
<08104> (8799)
them within
<0990>
thee; they shall withal
<03162>
be fitted
<03559> (8735)
in thy lips
<08193>_.
{within...: Heb. in thy belly}
22:19
That thy trust
<04009>
may be in the LORD
<03068>_,
I have made known
<03045> (8689)
to thee this day
<03117>_,
even to thee. {even...: or, trust thou also}
22:20
Have not I written
<03789> (8804)
to thee
<08032>
excellent things
<07991>
in counsels
<04156>
and knowledge
<01847>_,
22:21
That I might make thee know
<03045> (8687)
the certainty
<07189>
of the words
<0561>
of truth
<0571>_;
that thou mightest answer
<07725> (8687)
the words
<0561>
of truth
<0571>
to them that send
<07971> (8802)
unto thee? {to them...: or, to those that send thee?}
22:22
Rob
<01497> (8799)
not the poor
<01800>_,
because he [is] poor
<01800>_:
neither oppress
<01792> (8762)
the afflicted
<06041>
in the gate
<08179>_:
22:23
For the LORD
<03068>
will plead
<07378> (8799)
their cause
<07379>_,
and spoil
<06906> (8804)
the soul
<05315>
of those that spoiled
<06906> (8802)
them.
22:24
Make no friendship
<07462> (8691)
with an angry
<0639>
man
<01167>_;
and with a furious
<02534>
man
<0376>
thou shalt not go
<0935> (8799)_:
22:25
Lest thou learn
<0502> (8799)
his ways
<0734>_,
and get
<03947> (8804)
a snare
<04170>
to thy soul
<05315>_.

hands
<03709>_,
[or] of them that are sureties
<06148> (8802)
for debts
<04859>_.
22:27
If thou hast nothing to pay
<07999> (8763)_,
why should he take away
<03947> (8799)
thy bed
<04904>
from under thee?

<05253> (8686)
not the ancient
<05769>
landmark
<01366>_,
which thy fathers

Seest
<02372> (8804)
thou a man
<0376>

in his business
<04399>_?

<03320> (8691)
before
<06440>
kings
<04428>_;

mean
<02823>
[men]. {mean...: Heb. obscure men}
