Proverbs 22:1-6

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

22 A good name is to be chosen rather than great riches,
    and favor is better than silver or gold.^(A)
2 The rich and the poor have this in common:
    the Lord is the maker of them all.
³ The clever see danger and hide,
    but the simple go on and suffer for it.
⁴ The reward for humility and fear of the Lord
    is riches and honor and life.
⁵ Thorns and snares are in the way of the perverse;
    the cautious will keep far from them.^(B)
6 Train children in the right way,
    and when old, they will not stray.^(C)
