Pr 22:1

     (a) Which comes by well doing.

22:2 The rich and poor {b} meet together: the LORD [is] the
     maker of them all.

     (b) Live together, and have need the one of the other.

Pr 22:3
22:3 A prudent [man] {c} foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself:

         wicked and flees to God for help.

Pr 22:6

     is old, he will not depart from it.

     (d) Bring him up virtuously and he will continue so.

Pr 22:8
22:8 He that soweth iniquity shall reap vanity: and the {e} rod

         taken from him.

Pr 22:9
22:9 He that hath a bountiful {f} eye shall be blessed; for he
     giveth of his bread to the poor.

     (f) He that is merciful and liberal.

Pr 22:11
22:11 He that loveth pureness of heart, [for] the grace of his
      lips the {g} king [shall be] his friend.

      (g) He shows that princes should use their familiarity,
          whose conscience is good, and their talk wise and
          godly.

Pr 22:12
22:12 The eyes of the LORD preserve {h} knowledge, and he
      overthroweth the words of the transgressor.

      (h) Favour them that love knowledge.

Pr 22:13
22:13 The slothful [man] saith, {i} [There is] a lion outside, I
      shall be slain in the streets.

      (i) He derides them that invent vain excuses, because they
          would not do their duty.

Pr 22:14
22:14 The mouth of strange women [is] a deep pit: he that is
      abhorred by the LORD {k} shall fall in it.

      (k) So God punishes one sin by another, when he suffers
          the wicked to fall into the acquaintance of a harlot.

Pr 22:15
22:15 Foolishness [is] bound {l} in the heart of a child; [but]
      the rod of correction shall drive it far from him.

      (l) He is naturally given to it.

Pr 22:19
22:19 That thy trust may be in {m} the LORD, I have made known
      to thee this day, even to thee.

      (m) He shows what the end of wisdom is: that is, to direct
          us to the Lord.

22:20 Have not I written to thee {n} excellent things in
      counsels and knowledge,

      (n) That is, various times.

Pr 22:24
22:24 Make {o} no friendship with an angry man; and with a
      furious man thou shalt not go:

      (o) Have nothing to do with him that is not able to rule
          his affections: for he would hurt you by his evil
          conversation.

Pr 22:26
22:26 Be not thou [one] of them that {p} strike hands, [or] of
      them that are sureties for debts.

      (p) Who rashly put themselves in danger for others, as in
          @Pr 6:2.
