Context of Proverbs 22:8
6Train up a child in the way he should go, Even when he is old he will not depart from it. 7The rich rules over the poor, And the borrower becomes the lender’s slave. He who sows iniquity will reap vanity, And the rod of his fury will perish. 9He who is generous will be blessed, For he gives some of his food to the poor. 10Drive out the scoffer, and contention will go out, Even strife and dishonor will cease.
