“Give instruction to a youth about his way, || Even when he is old he does not turn from it.”— Proverbs 22:6 (LSV)
3The prudent has seen the evil, and is hidden, || And the simple have passed on, and are punished.
4The end of humility [is] the fear of YHWH, riches, and honor, and life.
5Thorns [and] snares [are] in the way of the perverse, || Whoever is keeping his soul is far from them.
6Give instruction to a youth about his way, || Even when he is old he does not turn from it.
7The rich rules over the poor, || And a servant [is] the borrower to the lender.
8Whoever is sowing perverseness reaps sorrow, || And the rod of his anger wears out.
9The good of eye—he is blessed, || For he has given of his bread to the poor.
