Geneva Study Bible
   1: A [good] name is rather to be chosen than great riches, [And] loving favor rather than silver and gold.
   2: The rich and the poor meet together: Jehovah is the maker of them all.
   3: A prudent man seeth the evil, and hideth himself; But the simple pass on, and suffer for it.
   4: The reward of humility [and] the fear of Jehovah [Is] riches, and honor, and life.
   5: Thorns [and] snares are in the way of the perverse: He that keepeth his soul shall be 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 calamity; 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 scoffer, and contention will go out; Yea, strife and ignominy will cease.
   11: He that loveth pureness of heart, [For] the grace of his lips the king will be his friend.
   12: The eyes of Jehovah preserve [him that hath] knowledge; But he overthroweth the words of the treacherous 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 Jehovah 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: He that oppresseth the poor to increase his [gain], [And] he that giveth to the rich, [shall come] only to want.
   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, If they be established together upon thy lips.
   19: That thy trust may be in Jehovah, 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: To make thee know the certainty of the words of truth, That thou mayest carry back words of truth to them that send thee?
   22: Rob not the poor, because he is poor; Neither oppress the afflicted in the gate:
   23: For Jehovah 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 this ways, And get a snare to thy soul.
   26: Be thou not one 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.
