Proverbs 22:1-6

New American Standard Bible

22 A ^(A)good name is to be more desired than great wealth;
Favor is better than silver and gold.
² The rich and the poor ^[a]have a common bond,
The Lord is the ^(B)Maker of them all.
³ A ^(C)prudent person sees evil and hides himself,
But the naive proceed, and pay the penalty.
⁴ The reward of humility and ^[b]the fear of the Lord
Are riches, honor, and life.
^5 (D)Thorns and snares are in the way of the perverse;
One who guards himself will be far from them.
^6 (E)Train up a child ^[c]in the way he should go,
Even when he grows older he will not abandon it.
