Proverbs 22:7 CPDV

⁵  Weapons and swords are on the way of the perverse. But he who guards his own soul withdraws far from them.

⁶  The proverb is: A youth is close to his way; even when he is old, he will not withdraw from it.

⁷  The rich rule over the poor. And the borrower is servant to the lender.

⁸  Whoever sows iniquity will reap evils, and by the rod of his own wrath he will be consumed.

⁹  Whoever is inclined to mercy shall be blessed, for from his bread he has given to the poor. Whoever gives gifts will acquire victory and honor. But he carries away the soul of the receiver.
