Proverbs 22:1-3
The Message

The Cure Comes Through Discipline

22 A sterling reputation is better than striking it rich;
    a gracious spirit is better than money in the bank.

2 The rich and the poor shake hands as equals—
    God made them both!

3 A prudent person sees trouble coming and ducks;
    a simpleton walks in blindly and is clobbered.
