New Living Translation (NLT)
Proverbs 21
30 No human wisdom or understanding or plan can stand against the LORD.
31 The horse is prepared for the day of battle, but the victory belongs to the LORD.
Proverbs 22
1 Choose a good reputation over great riches; being held in high esteem is better than silver or gold.
2 The rich and poor have this in common: The LORD made them both.
3 A prudent person foresees danger and takes precautions. The simpleton goes blindly on and suffers the consequences.
4 True humility and fear of the LORD lead to riches, honor, and long life.
5 Corrupt people walk a thorny, treacherous road; whoever values life will avoid it.
6 Direct your children onto the right path, and when they are older, they will not leave it.
7 Just as the rich rule the poor, so the borrower is servant to the lender.
8 Those who plant injustice will harvest disaster, and their reign of terror will come to an end.
9 Blessed are those who are generous, because they feed the poor.
We pray that this ministry will be a blessing to you and your family.
