Proverbs 22:5-7

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

⁵ Thorns and snares are in the way of the obstinate and willful; he who guards himself will be far from them.

⁶ Train up a child in the way he should go [and in keeping with his individual gift or bent], and when he is old he will not depart from it.^(A)

⁷ The rich rule over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender.
