> A good name is to be chosen over great riches,<br>
> and favor is better than silver and gold. (Proverbs 22:1 ULT)
Here are some ideas for ways that people might say a proverb in their language.
> > It is better to have a good name than to have great riches, and to be favored by people than to have silver and gold.
> > It is better to have a good name than to have great riches,<br>
and to be favored by people than to have silver and gold.
>
> > Wise people choose a good name over great riches, and favor over silver and gold.
> > Wise people choose a good name over great riches, <br>
and favor over silver and gold.
>
> > Try to have a good reputation rather than great riches.
>
> > Will riches really help you? I would rather have a good reputation.
> > Will riches really help you? <br>
I would rather have a good reputation.
(2) If certain objects in the proverb are not known to many people in your language group, consider replacing them with objects that people know and that function in the same way in your language.
> Like **snow in summer** or rain in harvest,
>
> Like **snow in summer** or rain in harvest, <br>
> so a fool does not deserve honor. (Proverbs 26:1 ULT)
> > It is not natural for **a cold wind to blow in the hot season** or for it to rain in the harvest season; And it is not natural to honor a foolish person.
> > It is not natural for **a cold wind to blow in the hot season** or for it to rain in the harvest season; <br>
And it is not natural to honor a foolish person.
(3) Substitute a proverb in your language that has the same teaching as the proverb in the Bible.

> for you do not know what a day may bring. (Proverbs 27:1a ULT)
>
> > Do not count your chickens before they hatch.
(4) Give the same teaching but not in a form of a proverb.
> There is a generation that curses their father
>
> and does not bless their mother.
>
> There is a generation that is pure in their own eyes,
>
> and yet they are not washed of their filth. (Proverbs 30:11-12 ULT)

> > People who do not respect their parents think that they are righteous, and they do not turn away from their sin.
> > People who do not respect their parents think that they are righteous,<br>
and they do not turn away from their sin.
