The Value of a Good Reputation
A good reputation and respect are worth much more than silver and gold.
A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches, and loving favour rather than silver and gold.
2 The rich and the poor are all created by the Lord. The rich and poor meet together: the Lord is the maker of them all.
3 When you see trouble coming, don't be stupid and walk right into it— be smart and hide. A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself: but the simple pass on, and are punished.
4 Respect and serve the Lord! Your reward will be wealth, a long life, and honor. By humility and the fear of the Lord are riches, and honour, and life.
5 Crooks walk down a road full of thorny traps. Stay away from there! Thorns and snares are in the way of the froward: he that doth keep his soul shall be far from them.
6 Teach your children right from wrong, and when they are grown they will still do right. Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.
7 The poor are ruled by the rich, and those who borrow are slaves of moneylenders. The rich ruleth over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender.
8 Troublemakers get in trouble, and their terrible anger will get them nowhere. He that soweth iniquity shall reap vanity: and the rod of his anger shall fail.
9 The Lord blesses everyone who freely gives food to the poor. He that hath a bountiful eye shall be blessed; for he giveth of his bread to the poor.
10 Arguments and fights will come to an end, if you chase away those who insult others. Cast out the scorner, and contention shall go out; yea, strife and reproach shall cease.
11 The king is the friend of all who are sincere and speak with kindness. He that loveth pureness of heart, for the grace of his lips the king shall be his friend.
12 The Lord watches over everyone who shows good sense, but he frustrates the plans of deceitful liars. The eyes of the Lord preserve knowledge, and he overthroweth the words of the transgressor.
13 Don't be so lazy that you say, “If I go to work, a lion will eat me!” The slothful man saith, There is a lion without, I shall be slain in the streets.
14 The words of a bad woman are like a deep pit; if you make the Lord angry, you will fall right in. The mouth of strange women is a deep pit: he that is abhorred of the Lord shall fall therein.
15 All children are foolish, but firm correction will make them change. Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child; but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him.
16 Cheat the poor to make profit or give gifts to the rich— either way you lose. He that oppresseth the poor to increase his riches, and he that giveth to the rich, shall surely come to want.

Thirty Wise Sayings
Here are some sayings of people with wisdom, so listen carefully as I teach.
Bow down thine ear, and hear the words of the wise, and apply thine heart unto my knowledge.
18 You will be glad that you know these sayings and can recite them. For it is a pleasant thing if thou keep them within thee; they shall withal be fitted in thy lips.
19 I am teaching them today, so that you may trust the Lord. That thy trust may be in the Lord, I have made known to thee this day, even to thee.
20 I have written thirty sayings filled with sound advice. Have not I written to thee excellent things in counsels and knowledge,
21 You can trust them completely to give you the right words for those in charge of you. 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?
22 Don't take advantage of the poor or cheat them in court. Rob not the poor, because he is poor: neither oppress the afflicted in the gate:
23 The Lord is their defender, and what you do to them, he will do to you. For the Lord will plead their cause, and spoil the soul of those that spoiled them.
24 Don't make friends with anyone who has a bad temper. Make no friendship with an angry man; and with a furious man thou shalt not go:
25 You might turn out like them and get caught in a trap. Lest thou learn his ways, and get a snare to thy soul.
26 Don't guarantee to pay someone else's debt. Be not thou one of them that strike hands, or of them that are sureties for debts.
27 If you don't have the money, you might lose your bed. If thou hast nothing to pay, why should he take away thy bed from under thee?
28 Don't move a boundary marker set up by your ancestors. Remove not the ancient landmark, which thy fathers have set.
29 If you do your job well, you will work for a ruler and never be a slave. Seest thou a man diligent in his business? he shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean men.
