20:022:008 He that soweth iniquity shall reap vanity: and the rod of his anger shall fail. 20:022:009 He that hath a bountiful eye shall be blessed; for he giveth of his bread to the poor. 20:022:010 Cast out the scorner, and contention shall go out; yea, strife and reproach shall cease. 20:022:011 He that loveth pureness of heart, for the grace of his lips the king shall be his friend. 20:022:012 The eyes of the LORD preserve knowledge, and he overthroweth the words of the transgressor. 20:022:013 The slothful man saith, There is a lion without, I shall be slain in the streets. 20:022:014 The mouth of strange women is a deep pit: he that is abhorred of the LORD shall fall therein. 20:022:015 Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child; but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him. 20:022:016 He that oppresseth the poor to increase his riches, and he that giveth to the rich, shall surely come to want. 20:022:017 Bow down thine ear, and hear the words of the wise, and apply thine heart unto my knowledge. 20:022:018 For it is a pleasant thing if thou keep them within thee; they shall withal be fitted in thy lips. 20:022:019 That thy trust may be in the LORD, I have made known to thee this day, even to thee. 20:022:020 Have not I written to thee excellent things in counsels and knowledge, 20:022:021 That I might make thee know the certainty of the words of truth; that thou mightest answer the words of truth to them that send unto thee? 20:022:022 Rob not the poor, because he is poor: neither oppress the afflicted in the gate: 20:022:023 For the LORD will plead their cause, and spoil the soul of those that spoiled them. 20:022:024 Make no friendship with an angry man; and with a furious man thou shalt not go: 20:022:025 Lest thou learn his ways, and get a snare to thy soul. 20:022:026 Be not thou one of them that strike hands, or of them that are sureties for debts. 20:022:027 If thou hast nothing to pay, why should he take away thy bed from under thee? 20:022:028 Remove not the ancient landmark, which thy fathers have set. 20:022:029 Seest thou a man diligent in his business? he shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean men. 20:023:001 When thou sittest to eat with a ruler, consider diligently what is before thee: 20:023:002 And put a knife to thy throat, if thou be a man given to appetite. 20:023:003 Be not desirous of his dainties: for they are deceitful meat. 20:023:004 Labour not to be rich: cease from thine own wisdom. 20:023:005 Wilt thou set thine eyes upon that which is not? for riches certainly make themselves wings; they fly away as an eagle toward heaven.
