6 Train up a child in the way he should go,
7 The rich ruleth over the poor;
8 He that soweth iniquity shall reap calamity;
9 He that hath a bountiful eye shall be blessed;
10 Cast out the scoffer, and contention will go out;
11 He that loveth pureness of heart,
12 The eyes of Jehovah preserve
13 The sluggard saith, There is a lion without;
14 The mouth of strange women is a deep pit;
15 Foolishness is bound up in the heart of a child;
16 He that oppresseth the poor to increase his
17 Incline thine ear, and hear the words of the wise,
18 For it is a pleasant thing if thou keep them within thee,
19 That thy trust may be in Jehovah,
20 Have not I written unto thee excellent things
21 To make thee know the certainty of the words of truth,
22 Rob not the poor, because he is poor;
23 For Jehovah will plead their cause,
24 Make no friendship with a man that is given to anger;
25 Lest thou learn his ways,
26 Be thou not one of them that strike hands,
27 If thou hast not wherewith to pay,
28 Remove not the ancient landmark,
29 Seest thou a man diligent in his business? he shall stand before kings;
