Proverbs 22:5-7

New American Standard Bible 1995

^5 (A)Thorns and snares are in the way of the perverse;
He who guards himself will be far from them.
^6 (B)Train up a child ^[a]in the way he should go,
Even when he is old he will not depart from it.
⁷ The ^(C)rich rules over the poor,
And the borrower becomes the lender’s slave.
