Proverbs 22:3 - Forerunner Commentary

Proverbs 22:3

Compare all

1 A ^agood name is to be chosen rather than great riches,
Loving favor rather than silver and gold.

2 The ^arich and the poor have this in common,
The ^bLord is the maker of them all.

3 A prudent man foresees evil and hides himself,
But the simple pass on and are ^apunished.

4 By humility and the fear of the Lord
Are riches and honor and life.

5 Thorns and snares are in the way of the perverse;
He who guards his soul will be far from them.

6 ^aTrain up a child in the way he should go,
¹And when he is old he will not depart from it.

7 The ^arich rules over the poor,
And the borrower is servant to the lender.

8 He who sows iniquity will reap ^asorrow,
And the rod of his anger will fail.
