Prov 22
Proverb of Solomon continues...
1 To choose a good name over abundant wealth in silver and gold is by Grace:
2 the rich and poor-man must meet together, because both are made by Jehovah:
3 When the crafty see evil, he hide/conceal it from the simple/gullible, so that, he will cross over and be punished.(Prov 27:12)
4 the end results (heel) of reverence to Jehovah in humility are Wealth, Glory, and Life:
5 thorns and snares are with a distorted-man, but souls that are preserved on the way are put far-away from them:
6 The mouth of the aged men should dedicate/intiate the adolescent children - to turn away from their own ways.
7 A rich man will rule over his slaves because they unite and remain with him, but over Poor-men because they borrow from him.
8 What you sow, you shall reap. All tribes that exert themselves on iniquities are in transgressions and will be terminated:
9 If you give food to the weak ones, you will be blessed with good things before all eyes.
10 by Justice of law, mockers will desist from exertion of themselves on quarreling, so that reproach that come forth from it will be driven away.
11 A king whose his companions/associates love purity of heart and pureness of lips is by grace.
12 The knowledge of Jehovah will guard you from those who falsify/subvert spoken-words and from the eyes of those that act treacherously.
13 when someone is murdered outside, a lazy man would say that, lion is now in our midst and on broad-streets. (by exaggeration)
14 A stranger who is furious towards Jehovah will fall into a chasm/pit, by deep things from his mouth.
15 connection of a Tribe to correction will put the heart of their adolescent-children far away from foolishness.
16 A rich man multiplies things and give to the weak ones by exploiting them, even in their poverty:
17 Incline your ears, to hear attentively the spoken-words of the Wise to put knowledge into your heart; -
18 - it is delightful to preserve all things from his lips within your belly, for you to be established altogether.
19 know that in Jehovah is your security/insurance for all day.
20 By the knowledge from the advisory council in time past, written by the Captain (of the third rank);
21 - having known those who sent out the utterances, which are utterances of Truth, even the Truth with certainty that can restore things, such as -
22 - when the weak and lowly ones are crushed and the weak ones are robbed at the gate; -
23 - those in such Permanent/military service must be those that will contend for souls in their contests, for Jehovah is unchangeable/permanently fixed. (Ref: Ps 119:154, Jer 50:34, 51:36, Lam 3:58, Micah 7:9)
24 - when the heat/displeasure and anger of a Master comes on a man, he should tend/care for;
25 - when souls are being taken with a thousand of snares on their path ;-
26 - when mingling for a debt/burden, and they are clapping palm of their hand for you;
27 - by which you will only be safe, when all things in your bedrooms are taken from you;
28 - when the land-boundaries, that our fathers have made to eternity are moved back;
29 - Envision/gaze at the face of a very fast/skilful man in his business/ministry. How will such be placed in the dark/obscurity? He should be positioned before the king.
