Proverbs 22

Gen Z: Proverbs 22

1A solid rep is way better than stacks, and good vibes are worth more than gold, fr.

2Rich and broke folks vibe together: God made them all, periodt.

3A wise dude sees the bad vibes coming and dips; but the clueless just keep rolling and catch the heat.

4Humble pie and respecting God bring the good life, honor, and mad blessings.

5Bad vibes and traps are on the path for the shady; but if you guard your soul, you’ll dodge that drama.

6Raise a kid right, and when they grow up, they won’t stray from the path.

7The rich flex on the poor, and if you owe, you’re basically their servant, no cap.

8If you plant bad seeds, you’ll harvest nothing but drama; the anger stick won’t last.

9If you got a generous heart, you’re blessed; sharing your food with the needy is lit.

10Kick out the haters, and the drama will chill; all the beef and shade will fade away.

11If you vibe with a pure heart, the king's gonna be your homie, no cap.

12God's got the 20/20 vision on knowledge, and he just shuts down the words of the haters.

13The lazy dude's out here like, "There's a lion outside, I'm about to get wrecked in the streets."

14The words of sus women are like a deep pit; if you're not careful, you might just fall in.

15Foolishness is all up in a kid's heart; but some tough love will kick that out for good.

16If you’re grinding on the poor to stack your coins, or giving to the rich, you’re gonna end up broke, fr.

17Lean in and catch the wisdom drops; apply that knowledge to your heart, fam.

18Keeping this wisdom close is a whole mood; it'll be smooth on your lips too.

19So you can trust in the Lord, I'm dropping this knowledge on you today, periodt.

20Haven't I shared some fire insights with you about life and wisdom?

21Just tryna let you know the realness of the truth, so you can hit 'em back with the facts, ya feel?

22Don’t be robbin’ the broke, 'cause they’re already down bad; don’t be savage to the ones in need at the gates.

23The Lord’s got their back, and He’ll handle those who try to mess with them, no cap.

24Don’t vibe with an angry dude; steer clear of the ones who are always heated.

25Or else you might pick up their bad energy and get caught up in a mess, fr.

26Don’t be one of those who shakes on deals or backs people up for their debts, that’s sus.

27If you can’t pay up, why should they take your bed? That’s just wild.

28Keep the old school boundaries that your fam put down; respect the roots, periodt.

29You see a hustler grinding? They’re gonna pop off and be in front of kings, not just basic folks.

KJV: Proverbs 22

1A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches, and loving favour rather than silver and gold.

2The rich and poor meet together: the Lord is the maker of them all.

3A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself: but the simple pass on, and are punished.

4By humility and the fear of the Lord are riches, and honour, and life.

5Thorns and snares are in the way of the froward: he that doth keep his soul shall be far from them.

6Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.

7The rich ruleth over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender.

8He that soweth iniquity shall reap vanity: and the rod of his anger shall fail.

9He that hath a bountiful eye shall be blessed; for he giveth of his bread to the poor.

10Cast out the scorner, and contention shall go out; yea, strife and reproach shall cease.

11He that loveth pureness of heart, for the grace of his lips the king shall be his friend.

12The eyes of the Lord preserve knowledge, and he overthroweth the words of the transgressor.

13The slothful man saith, There is a lion without, I shall be slain in the streets.

14The mouth of strange women is a deep pit: he that is abhorred of the Lord shall fall therein.

15Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child; but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him.

16He that oppresseth the poor to increase his riches, and he that giveth to the rich, shall surely come to want.

17Bow down thine ear, and hear the words of the wise, and apply thine heart unto my knowledge.

18For it is a pleasant thing if thou keep them within thee; they shall withal be fitted in thy lips.

19That thy trust may be in the Lord, I have made known to thee this day, even to thee.

20Have not I written to thee excellent things in counsels and knowledge,

21That I might make thee know the certainty of the words of truth; that thou mightest answer the words of truth to them that send unto thee?

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

23For the Lord will plead their cause, and spoil the soul of those that spoiled them.

24Make no friendship with an angry man; and with a furious man thou shalt not go:

25Lest thou learn his ways, and get a snare to thy soul.

26Be not thou one of them that strike hands, or of them that are sureties for debts.

27If thou hast nothing to pay, why should he take away thy bed from under thee?

28Remove not the ancient landmark, which thy fathers have set.

29Seest thou a man diligent in his business? he shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean men.
