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.
