Proverbs 22:7-10 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

7. Rich people rule over those who are poor. Borrowers are slaves to lenders.

8. Anyone who plants evil gathers a harvest of trouble. His power to beat others down will be destroyed.

9. Anyone who gives freely will be blessed. That's because he shares his food with those who are poor.

10. If you drive away those who make fun of others, fighting also goes away. Arguing and unkind words will stop.
