Proverbs 22:1-3

King James Version

22 A 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.
