New American Standard Bible (NASB)
Proverbs 22
4 The reward of humility and the fear of the Lord Are riches, honor and life.
5 Thorns and snares are in the way of the perverse; He who guards himself will be far from them.
6 Train up a child in the way he should go, Even when he is old he will not depart from it.
7 The rich rules over the poor, And the borrower becomes the lender’s slave.
8 He who sows iniquity will reap vanity, And the rod of his fury will perish.
9 He who is generous will be blessed, For he gives some of his food to the poor.
10 Drive out the scoffer, and contention will go out, Even strife and dishonor will cease.
11 He who loves purity of heart And whose speech is gracious, the king is his friend.
12 The eyes of the Lord preserve knowledge, But He overthrows the words of the treacherous man.
13 The sluggard says, "There is a lion outside; I will be killed in the streets!"
14 The mouth of an adulteress is a deep pit; He who is cursed of the Lord will fall into it.
We pray that this ministry will be a blessing to you and your family.
