Proverbs 22 Bible Study Guide

Proverbs 22 continues the collection of individual proverbs with an emphasis on reputation, humility, and the training of children. The chapter declares that a good name is more desirable than great riches. It teaches that the rich and the poor meet together — the Lord is the maker of them all.

The latter part of the chapter begins the thirty sayings of the wise.
