Dual Panel1A good name <08034> is to be chosen <0977> rather than great <07227> wealth <06239>, good <02896> favor <02580> more than silver <03701> or gold <02091>.
2The rich <06223> and the poor <07326> meet <06298> together; the Lord <03068> is the creator <06213> of them both <03605>.
3A shrewd <06175> person sees <07200> danger <07451> and hides <05641> himself, but the naive <06612> keep right on going <05674> and suffer <06064> for it.
4The reward <06118> for humility <06038> and fearing <03374> the Lord <03068> is riches <06239> and honor <03519> and life <02416>.
5Thorns <06791> and snares <06341> are in the path <01870> of the perverse <06141>, but the one who guards <08104> himself <05315> keeps far <07368> from them <01992>.
6Train <02596> a child <05288> in <05921> the way <01870> that <03588> he should go <06310>, and when he is old <02204> he will not <03808> turn <05493> from <04480> it.
7The rich <06223> rule <04910> over the poor <07326>, and the borrower <03867> is servant <05650> to the lender <03867> <0376>.
8The one who sows <02232> iniquity <05766> will reap <07114> trouble, and the rod <07626> of his fury <05678> will end <03615>.
9A generous <05869> <02896> person <01931> will be blessed <01288>, for <03588> he gives <05414> some of his food <03899> to the poor <01800>.
10Drive <01644> out <03318> the scorner <03887> and contention <04066> will leave; strife <01779> and insults <07036> will cease <07673>.
11The one who loves <0157> a pure <02889> heart and whose speech <08193> is gracious <02580>– the king <04428> will be his friend <07453>.
12The eyes <05869> of the Lord <03068> guard <05341> knowledge <01847>, but he overthrows <05557> the words <01697> of the faithless person <0898>.
13The sluggard <06102> says <0559>, “There is a lion <0738> outside <02351>! I will be killed <07523> in the middle <08432> of the streets <07339>!”
14The mouth <06310> of an adulteress <02114> is like a deep <06013> pit <07745>; the one against whom the Lord <03068> is angry <02194> will fall <05307> into it.
15Folly <0200> is bound up <07194> in the heart <03820> of a child <05288>, but the rod <07626> of discipline <04148> will drive <07368> it far <07368> from <04480> him.
16The one who oppresses <06231> the poor <01800> to increase <07235> his own gain and the one who gives <05414> to the rich <06223>– both <0389> end up <04270> only in poverty <04270>.
17Incline <05186> your ear <0241> and listen <08085> to the words <01697> of the wise <02450>, and apply <07896> your heart <03820> to my instruction <01847>.
18For <03588> it is pleasing <05273> if <03588> you keep <08104> these sayings within you, and they are ready <03559> on <05921> your lips <08193>.
19So that your confidence <04009> may be <01961> in the Lord <03068>, I am making <03045> them known <03045> to you today <03117>– even <0637> you <0859>.
20Have I not <03808> written <03789> thirty sayings <08032> for you, sayings of counsel <04156> and knowledge <01847>,
21to show <03045> you true <07189> and reliable <0571> words <0561>, so that you may give <07725> accurate <0571> answers <0561> <07725> to those who sent <07971> you?
22Do not <0408> exploit <01497> a poor <01800> person because <03588> he <01931> is poor <01800> and do not <0408> crush <01792> the needy <06041> in court <08179>,
23for <03588> the Lord <03069> will plead <07378> their case <07379> and will rob <06906> those who are robbing <06906> them.
24Do not <0408> make friends <07462> with <0854> an angry <0639> person <01167>, and do not <03808> associate <0935> with <0854> a wrathful <02534> person <0376>,
25lest <06435> you learn <0502> his ways <0734> and entangle <03947> yourself <05315> in a snare <04170>.
26Do not <0408> be <01961> one who strikes <08628> hands <03709> in pledge <08628> or who puts up security <06148> for debts <04859>.
27If <0518> you do not have enough <0369> to pay <07999>, your bed <04904> will be taken <03947> right out from under <08478> you!
28Do not <0408> move <05253> an ancient <05769> boundary stone <01366> which <0834> was put <06213> in place by your ancestors <01>.
29Do you see <02372> a person <0376> skilled <04106> in his work <04399>? He will take his position <03320> before <06440> kings <04428>; he will not <01077> take his position <03320> before <06440> obscure <02823> people.
