Proverbs 22:5-7

International Children’s Bible

⁵ The lives of evil people are like paths covered with thorns and traps.
    People who protect themselves don’t have such problems.

⁶ Train a child how to live the right way.
    Then even when he is old, he will still live that way.

⁷ The rich rule over the poor.
    And borrowers become servants to those who lend.
