| 22:2 | The rich and poor meet together: the LORD the maker of them all. | |
| 22:3 | A prudent foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself: but the simple pass on, and are punished. | |
| 22:4 | By humility the fear of the LORD riches, and honor, and life. | |
| 22:5 | Thorns snares in the way of the froward: he that doth keep his soul shall be far from them. | |

| 22:9 | He that hath a bountiful eye shall be blessed; for he giveth of his bread to the poor. | |
| 22:10 | Cast out the scorner, and contention shall end; yes, strife and reproach shall cease. | |
| 22:11 | He that loveth pureness of heart, the grace of his lips the king his friend. | |
| 22:12 | The eyes of the LORD preserve knowledge, and he overthroweth the words of the transgressor. | |
| 22:13 | The slothful saith, a lion without, I shall be slain in the streets. | |
| 22:14 | The mouth of strange women a deep pit: he that is abhorred by the LORD shall fall therein. | |
| 22:15 | Foolishness bound in the heart of a child; the rod of correction shall drive it far from him. | |
| 22:16 | He that oppresseth the poor to increase his , he that giveth to the rich, surely to want. | |
| 22:17 | Bow down thy ear, and hear the words of the wise, and apply thy heart to my knowledge. | |
| 22:18 | For a pleasant thing if thou keepest them within thee; they shall withal be fitted in thy lips. | |
| 22:19 | That thy trust may be in the LORD, I have made known to thee this day, even to thee. | |

| 22:22 | Rob not the poor, because he poor: neither oppress the afflicted in the gate: | |

| 22:25 | Lest thou learn his ways, and get a snare to thy soul. | |
| 22:26 | Be not thou of them that strike hands, of them that are sureties for debts. | |
| 22:27 | If thou hast nothing to pay, why should he take away thy bed from under thee? | |
| 22:28 | Remove not the ancient landmark, which thy fathers have set. | |
| 22:29 | Seest thou a man diligent in his business? he shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean . | |
