The rich and the poor meet together;

the Lord is the Maker of them all.

Proverbs 22:2

[mybeautifulchristianjourney]

A Good Name is More Valuable than Great Wealth

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; the LORD is the maker of them all. 3 A prudent man foreseeth the evil and hideth himself, but the simple pass by and are punished. 4 With humility and the fear of the LORD come riches and honor and life. 5 Thorns and snares are in the path of the froward; he that doth keep his soul shall stay 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 ruleth over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender. 8 He that soweth iniquity shall reap vanity, and the rod of his anger shall fail. 9 He that hath a bountiful eye shall be blessed, for he giveth of his bread to the poor.

10 Cast out the scorner, and contention shall go away; yea, strife and reproach shall cease. 11 He that loveth pureness of heart: for the grace of his lips the king shall be his friend. 12 The eyes of the LORD preserve knowledge, and He overthroweth the words of the transgressor. 13 The slothful man saith, "There is a lion without! I shall be slain in the streets!" 14 The mouth of a strange woman is a deep pit; he that is abhorred by the LORD shall fall therein. 15 Foolishness is bound into the heart of a child, but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him. 16 He that oppresseth the poor to increase his riches, and he that giveth to the rich, shall surely come to want.

17 Bow down thine ear and hear the words of the wise, and apply thine heart unto my knowledge. 18 For it is a pleasant thing if thou keep them within thee, that they may indeed be ready upon thy lips. 19 That thy trust may be in the LORD, I have made it known to thee this day, even to thee! 20 Have I not written to thee excellent things of counsel and knowledge, 21 that I might make thee know the certainty of the words of truth, that thou mightest answer the words of truth to them that send unto thee? 22 Rob not the poor because he is poor, neither oppress the afflicted at the gate; 23 for the LORD will plead their cause, and despoil the soul of those that despoiled them. 24 Make no friendship with an angry man, and with a furious man thou shalt not go, 25 lest thou learn his ways and get a snare for thy soul. 26 Be not thou one of them that strike hands or of them that are sureties for debts; 27 if thou hast nothing to pay, why should he take away thy bed from under thee? 28 Remove not the ancient landmark which thy fathers have set. 29 Seest thou a man diligent in his business? He shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before men of low estate. — Proverbs 22 | Third Millennium Bible (TMB) Third Millennium Bible, New Authorized Version, Copyright 1998 by Deuel Enterprises, Inc.

A Good Name is Worth More Than Great Riches

1 A good name is to be chosen above great riches, and loving favor is above silver and above gold.

2 The rich and poor meet together, the Lord is the maker of them all.

3 A prudent man seeth the plague, and hideth himself: but the foolish go on still, and are punished.

4 The reward of humility, and the fear of God is riches, and glory, and life.

5 Thorns and snares are in the way of the froward: but he that regardeth his soul, will depart far from them.

6 Teach a child in the trade of his way, and when he is old he shall not depart from it.

7 The rich ruleth the poor, and the borrower is servant to the man that lendeth.

8 He that soweth iniquity, shall reap affliction, and the rod of his anger shall fail.

9 He that hath a good eye, he shall be blessed: for he giveth of his bread unto the poor.

10 Cast out the scorner, and strife shall go out: so contention and reproach shall cease.

11 He that loveth pureness of heart for the grace of his lips, the king shall be his friend.

12 The eyes of the Lord preserve knowledge: but he overthroweth the words of the transgressor.

13 The slothful man saith, A lion is without, I shall be slain in the street.

14 The mouth of strange women is as a deep pit: he with whom the Lord is angry, shall fall therein.

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

16 He that oppresseth the poor to increase himself, and giveth unto the rich, shall surely come to poverty.

17 ¶ Incline thine ear, and hear the words of the wise, and apply thine heart unto my knowledge.

18 For it shall be pleasant, if thou keep them in thy belly, and if they be directed together in thy lips.

19 That thy confidence may be in the Lord, I have showed thee this day: thou therefore take heed.

20 Have not I written unto thee three times in counsels and knowledge,

21 That I might show thee the assurance of the words of truth, to answer the words of truth to them that send to thee?

22 Rob not the poor, because he is poor, neither oppress the afflicted in judgment.

23 For the Lord will defend their cause, and spoil the soul of those that spoil them.

24 Make no friendship with an angry man, neither go with the furious man,

25 Lest thou learn his ways, and receive destruction to thy soul.

26 Be not thou of them that tough the hand, nor among them that are surety for debts.

27 If thou hast nothing to pay, why causest thou that he should take thy bed from under thee?

28 Thou shalt not remove the ancient bounds which thy fathers have made.

29 Thou seest that a diligent man in his business standeth before Kings, and standeth not before the base sort. — Proverbs 22 | Geneva Bible (GNV) Geneva Bible, 1599 Edition.

2 The rich and the poor meet together— The LORD is the maker of them all.

3 A prudent man seeth the evil, and hideth himself; But the thoughtless pass on, and are punished.

4 The reward of humility is the fear of the LORD, Even riches, and honour, and life.

5 Thorns and snares are in the way of the froward; He that keepeth his soul holdeth himself far from them.

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

7 The rich ruleth over the poor, And the borrower is servant to the lender.

8 He that soweth iniquity shall reap vanity; And the rod of his wrath shall fail.

9 He that hath a bountiful eye shall be blessed; For he giveth of his bread to the poor.

10 Cast out the scorner, and contention will go out; Yea, strife and shame will cease.

11 He that loveth pureness of heart, That hath grace in his lips, the king shall be his friend.

12 The eyes of the LORD preserve him that hath knowledge, But He overthroweth the words of the faithless man.

13 The sluggard saith: ‘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 the LORD shall fall therein.

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

16 One may oppress the poor, yet will their gain increase; One may give to the rich, yet will want come.

17 Incline thine ear, and hear the words of the wise, And apply thy heart unto my knowledge. 18 For it is a pleasant thing if thou keep them within thee; Let them be established altogether upon thy lips. 19 That thy trust may be in the LORD, I have made them known to thee this day, even to thee. 20 Have not I written unto thee excellent things Of counsels and knowledge; 21 That I might make thee know the certainty of the words of truth, That thou mightest bring back words of truth to them that send thee?

22 Rob not the weak, because he is weak, Neither crush the poor in the gate; 23 For the LORD will plead their cause, And despoil of life those that despoil them.

24 Make no friendship with a man that is given to anger; And with a wrathful man thou shalt not go; 25 Lest thou learn his ways, And get a snare to thy soul.

26 Be thou not of them that strike hands, Or of them that are sureties for debts; 27 If thou hast not wherewith to pay, Why should he take away thy bed from under thee?

28 Remove not the ancient landmark, Which thy fathers have set.

29 Seest thou a man diligent in his business? he shall stand before kings; He shall not stand before mean men. — Proverbs 22 | JPS Tanakh 1917 (JPST) The Holy Scriptures according to the Masoretic text; Jewish Publication Society 1917.
