22:2	富戶窮人在一件事上都一樣，就是他們都為耶和華所造。 The rich and the poor have this in common: Jehovah is the maker of them all.

22:6	教養孩童走當走的道路，就是到老他也不偏離。 Train up a child according to the way he should go; Even when he is old, he will not depart from it.
22:7	富戶管轄窮人，欠債的是債主的仆人。 The rich man rules over the poor, And the borrower is servant to the lender.

22:9	眼目慈善的，就必蒙福，因他將食物分給窮人。 He who is generous will be blessed, For he gives some of his bread to the poor.

22:11	喜愛心裏純潔、口中有恩言的人，王必與他為友。 He who loves pureness of heart And whose speech is gracious will have the king as his friend.
22:12	耶和華的眼目保守知識，但祂傾覆奸詐人的言語。 The eyes of Jehovah preserve knowledge, But He overthrows the words of the treacherous man.
22:13	懶惰人說，外頭有獅子，我在街上必被殺害！ The sluggard says, There is a lion outside! I will be slain in the streets!
22:14	淫婦的口為深坑；耶和華所惱怒的，必陷在其中。 The mouth of strange women is a deep pit; He with whom Jehovah is indignant will fall in there.
22:15	愚妄纏住孩童的心，用管教的杖可以將愚妄遠遠趕除。 Foolishness is bound up in the heart of a child; But the rod of correction will drive it far from him.
22:16	欺壓貧窮為要多增財利的，並送禮給富戶的，都必缺乏。 He who oppresses the poor to multiply his gain, And he who gives to the rich will only come to want.

22:20	謀略和知識的美事，我豈沒有寫給你麼？ Have not I written to you excellent things Of counsels and knowledge,
22:21	要使你知道真理之言的確實，你好將真理之言回覆那些打發你的人。 To make you know the certainty of the words of truth, That you may answer back words of truth to those who send you?
22:22	你不可因窮人貧窮就搶奪他的物，也不可在城門口欺壓困苦人； Do not rob the poor, because he is poor; Nor oppress the afflicted in the gate;
22:23	因耶和華必為他們辨屈；搶奪他們的，耶和華必奪取那些人的命。 For Jehovah will plead their cause, And rob the life of those who rob them.
22:24	好生氣的人，不可與他結交；暴怒的人，不可與他來往； Make no friendship with a man who is given to anger, And with a wrathful man do not go;
22:25	恐怕你學他的行徑，使自己陷在網羅裏。 Lest you learn his ways And get a snare for your soul.
22:26	不要與人擊掌作保，也不要為欠債的擔保。 Do not be one of those who give their hand as a pledge Or one of those who are a surety for debts.
22:27	你若沒有什麼償還，何必使人奪去你睡臥的床呢？ If you have nothing with which to pay, Why should your bed be taken away from under you?
22:28	你先祖所立古時的地界，你不可挪移。 Do not remove the ancient boundary marker, Which your fathers have set up.
22:29	你看見辦事敏捷的人麼？他必站在君王麵前，必不站在微賤人麵前。 Do you see a man skilled in his work? He will stand before kings; He will not stand before obscure men.
