(弗6:4; 提后3:15)7The rich rules over the poor, and the borrower is the slave of the lender. (雅2:6)8Whoever sows injustice will reap calamity, and the rod of his fury will fail. (伯4:8; 赛14:6; 赛30:31; 何10:13)9Whoever has a bountiful[2] eye will be blessed, for he shares his bread with the poor. (箴19:17; 路14:13; 林后9:6)10Drive out a scoffer, and strife will go out, and quarreling and abuse will cease. (创21:9; 箴26:20)11He who loves purity of heart, and whose speech is gracious, will have the king as his friend. (诗101:6; 箴14:35; 箴16:13; 传10:12)12The eyes of the Lord keep watch over knowledge, but he overthrows the words of the traitor. (箴11:3; 箴21:12)13The sluggard says, “There is a lion outside!

Words of the Wise
17Incline your ear, and hear the words of the wise, and apply your heart to my knowledge, (箴1:6; 箴5:1; 箴23:12; 箴24:23)18for it will be pleasant if you keep them within you, if all of them are ready on your lips.19That your trust may be in the Lord, I have made them known to you today, even to you.20Have I not written for you thirty sayings of counsel and knowledge, (箴8:6)21to make you know what is right and true, that you may give a true answer to those who sent you? (路1:3)22Do not rob the poor, because he is poor, or crush the afflicted at the gate, (出23:6; 伯5:4; 伯31:21; 亚7:10; 玛3:5)23for the Lord will plead their cause and rob of life those who rob them. (撒上25:39; 诗12:5; 诗35:10; 诗68:5; 诗140:12; 箴23:11; 耶51:36)24Make no friendship with a man given to anger, nor go with a wrathful man,25lest you learn his ways and entangle yourself in a snare.26Be not one of those who give pledges, who put up security for debts. (伯17:3)27If you have nothing with which to pay, why should your bed be taken from under you? (出22:26; 箴20:16)28Do not move the ancient landmark that your fathers have set.
