Proverbs 22:9-16
-
9 He that hath a bountiful eye shall be blessed; for he giveth of his bread to the poor.
-
10 Cast out the scorner, and contention shall go out; yea, strife and reproach shall cease.
-
11 He that loveth pureness of heart, for the grace of his lips the king shall be his friend.
-
12 The eyes of the LORD preserve knowledge, and he overthroweth the words of the transgressor.
-
13 The slothful man saith, There is a lion without, I shall be slain in the streets.
-
14 The mouth of strange women is a deep pit: he that is abhorred of the LORD shall fall therein.
-
15 Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child; but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him.
-
16 He that oppresseth the poor to increase his riches, and he that giveth to the rich, shall surely come to want.
