A GOOD name is rather to be chosen than great riches, and loving favour rather than silver and gold.
A verse can bring hope. Share this message of faith with someone you care about.
Verse 1 is found in chapter 22 of Proverbs. A good name is presented as preferable to great riches, and the rich and poor are equally under the creation of the Lord. Prudence allows a person to hide from danger, while the naive move forward without considering consequences. The teaching about sowing injustice and reaping calamity expresses a recurring moral logic. Generosity toward the poor is again connected with divine blessing.
