Proverbs 22:1-3

International Children’s Bible

22 Being respected is more important than having great riches.
To be well thought of is better than owning silver or gold.

²The rich and the poor are alike
in that the Lord made them all.

³When a wise person sees danger ahead, he avoids it.
But a foolish person keeps going and gets into trouble.
