Proverbs 22:5-8

Proverbs 22:5-8 NASB2020

Thorns and snares are in the way of the perverse; One who guards himself will be far from them. Train up a child in the way he should go, Even when he grows older he will not abandon it. The rich rules over the poor, And the borrower becomes the lender’s slave. One who sows injustice will reap disaster, And the rod of his fury will perish.
