“Choose a good reputation over great riches; being held in high esteem is better than silver or gold.
The rich and the poor have this in common: The Lord made them both.
A prudent person forces danger and takes precautions. The simpleton goes blindly on and suffers the consequences.
True humility and fear of the Lord lead to riches, honor, and long life.
Corrupt people walk a thorny, treacherous road; whoever values life will avoid it.
“Direct your children onto the right path, and when they are older, they will not leave it.” (vv. 1-6)
