Proverbs 22:3-8 Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version (ETR)

3. Wise people see trouble coming and get out of its way, but fools go straight to it and suffer for it.

4. Respect the Lord and be humble. Then you will have wealth, honor, and true life.

5. Evil people are trapped by many troubles, but those who want to live avoid them.

6. Teach children in a way that fits their needs, and even when they are old, they will not leave the right path.

7. The rich rule over the poor. The one who borrows is a slave to the one who lends.

8. Those who spread trouble will harvest trouble. In the end, they will be destroyed for the trouble they caused.
