Proverbs 22:5-7

New American Standard Bible

^5 (A)Thorns and snares are in the way of the perverse;
One who guards himself will be far from them.
^6 (B)Train up a child ^[a]in the way he should go,
Even when he grows older he will not abandon it.
⁷ The ^(C)rich rules over the poor,
And the borrower becomes the lender’s slave.
