1 Bolje je ime nego veliko bogatstvo, i milost je bolja nego srebro i zlato. 2 Bogat i siromah sretaju se; obojicu je Gospod stvorio. 3 Pametan čovek vidi zlo i skloni se, a ludi idu dalje i plaćaju. 4 Smernosti i strahu Gospodnjem plata je bogatstvo i slava i život. 5 Trnje i zamke su na putu opakoga; ko čuva dušu svoju, biće daleko od toga. 6 Uči dete prema putu kojim će ići, pa neće odstupiti od njega ni kad ostari. 7 Bogat gospodari nad siromasima, i ko uzima u zajam biva sluga onome koji daje. 8 Ko seje bezakonje žeće muku, i prut gneva njegovog nestaće. 9 Blago oko biće blagosloveno, jer daje hleba svog ubogom. 10 Oteraj podsmevača, i otići će raspra i prestaće svađa i sramota. 11 Ko ljubi čisto srce, i čije su usne ljubazne, njemu je car prijatelj. 12 Oči Gospodnje čuvaju znanje, a poslove bezakonikove obara. 13 Lenivac govori: Lav je napolju; nasred ulice poginuo bih. 14 Usta su tuđih žena jama duboka; na koga se gnevi Gospod onamo će pasti. 15 Bezumlje je privezano detetu na srce; prut kojim se kara ukloniće ga od njega. 16 Ko čini krivo siromahu da umnoži svoje, i ko daje bogatome, zacelo će osiromašiti. 17 Prigni uho svoje i slušaj reči mudrih ljudi, i srce svoje privij k nauci mojoj. 18 Jer će ti biti milina ako ih složiš u srce svoje, ako sve budu poređane na usnama tvojim. 19 Da bi ti uzdanje bilo u Gospoda, kazujem ti ovo danas, a ti tako čini. 20 Nisam li ti napisao znamenite stvari za savete i znanje, 21 Da bih ti pokazao tvrđu istinitih reči da bi mogao istinitim rečima odgovarati onima koji pošalju k tebi? 22 Ne otimaj siromahu zato što je siromah, i ne zatiri nevoljnoga na vratima. 23 Jer će Gospod braniti njihovu stvar, i oteće dušu onima koji njima otimaju. 24 Ne druži se s čovekom gnevljivim i ne idi sa žestokim, 25 Da se ne bi navikao na puteve njegove i metnuo zamke na dušu svoju. 26 Ne budi od onih koji ruku daju, koji se jamče za dugove. 27 Ako nemaš čim platiti, zašto da se odnese postelja ispod tebe? 28 Ne pomiči stare međe, koju su postavili oci tvoji. 29 Jesi li video čoveka ustaoca na poslu? Takvi će pred carevima stajati, a neće stajati pred prostacima.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
Scripture says, "The rich and the poor meet together, the Lord is the Maker of them both." The rich and the poor meet together.
Read in context · Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers, series 1, vol. 6 (1888)
Because we incessantly move the ancient landmarks which our fathers have set. We encroach, we add house to house, field to field, to enrich ourselves at the expense of our neighbour.
