Proverbs 22
3. A prudent man sees danger and hides himself; but the simple go on, and suffer for it.
4. The reward for humility and fear of the Lord is riches and honor and life.
6. Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it.
7. The rich rules over the poor, and the borrower is the slave of the lender.
24. Make no friendship with a man given to anger, nor go with a wrathful man,
25. lest you learn his ways and entangle yourself in a snare.
29. Do you see a man skilful in his work? he will stand before kings; he will not stand before obscure men.
Verse 4 of Proverbs 22 is particularly interesting for it says the reward for humility and reverence of the Lord is riches, honor and life. This is so true in all aspects of life. Even in terms of blogging, I need to watch out what I write for the whole world is reading my blogs. I would like to portray myself as someone positive, diligent, kind and easygoing. Not one who is out to get somebody for some errors done in the past. Also, verse 24 says make no friendship with a man given to anger, for fear you learn of his bad habit and get yourself ensnared. So, who you mix with and are in close contact may influence your behavior and temperament. Be careful who you mingle with and choose your friends wisely.
