Proverbs 22:7-9
EasyEnglish Bible

7 Rich people have authority over poor people.
    People who borrow money have to serve those who lend it to them.
8 If you plant evil things,
    your harvest will be trouble.
If you are angry and you hurt people,
    it will never help you.
9 If you are kind to poor people and you share your food with them,
    God will bless you.
