Proverbs 22:6-8
New Catholic Bible

6 Train a child in the way he should go,
    and he will not deviate from it, even in old age.
7 The wealthy man lords it over the poor,[a]
    and the borrower becomes the slave of the lender.
8 Whoever sows injustice will reap calamity,
    and the rod of his wrath will disappear.
