“Uncommon Wisdom: Choosing How We Shall Live”

Proverbs 22:1-2; 8-9; 22-23, New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

22 A good name is to be chosen rather than great riches,
    and favor is better than silver or gold.
2 The rich and the poor have this in common:
    the Lord is the maker of them all. 8 Whoever sows injustice will reap calamity,
    and the rod of anger will fail.
9 Those who are generous are blessed,
    for they share their bread with the poor. 22 Do not rob the poor because they are poor
    or crush the afflicted at the gate,
23 for the Lord pleads their cause
    and despoils of life those who despoil them.
