Proverbs 22:5-7
New Living Translation
5 Corrupt people walk a thorny, treacherous road;
whoever values life will avoid it.
6 Direct your children onto the right path,
and when they are older, they will not leave it.
7 Just as the rich rule the poor,
so the borrower is servant to the lender.
Proverbs 22:5-7
New International Version
5 In the paths of the wicked are snares and pitfalls,(A)
but those who would preserve their life stay far from them.
6 Start(B) children off on the way they should go,(C)
and even when they are old they will not turn from it.(D)
7 The rich rule over the poor,
and the borrower is slave to the lender.
Proverbs 22:5-7
King James Version
5 Thorns and snares are in the way of the froward: he that doth keep his soul shall be far from them.
6 Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.
7 The rich ruleth over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender.
