Proverbs 22:1-7

English Standard Version

22 ^(A)A good name is to be chosen rather than great riches,
    and favor is better than silver or gold.
^2 (B)The rich and the poor meet together;
    the Lord is ^(C)the Maker of them all.
^3 (D)The prudent sees danger and hides himself,
    but the simple go on and suffer for it.
⁴ The reward for humility and fear of the Lord
    is ^(E)riches and honor and life.^[a]
5 (F)Thorns and snares are in the way of the crooked;
    whoever ^(G)guards his soul will keep far from them.
^6 (H)Train up a child in the way he should go;
    even when he is old he will not depart from it.
^7 (I)The rich rules over the poor,
    and the borrower is the slave of the lender.
