Chapter 19

1


 

  Better is the poor that walketh in his integrity, than he that is perverse in his lips, and is a fool.  

 

 

-

2


 

  Also, that the soul be without knowledge, it is not good; and he that hasteth with his feet sinneth.  

 

 

-

3


 

  The foolishness of man perverteth his way: and his heart fretteth against the LORD.  

 

 

-

4


 

  Wealth maketh many friends; but the poor is separated from his neighbor.  

 

 

-

5


 

  A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaketh lies shall not escape.  

 

 

-

6


 

  Many will entreat the favor of the prince: and every man is a friend to him that giveth gifts.  

 

 

-

7


 

  All the brethren of the poor do hate him: how much more do his friends go far from him? he pursueth them with words, yet they are wanting to him.  

 

 

-

8


 

  He that getteth wisdom loveth his own soul: he that keepeth understanding shall find good.  

 

 

-

9


 

  A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaketh lies shall perish.  

 

 

-

10


 

  Delight is not seemly for a fool; much less for a servant to have rule over princes.  

 

 

-

11


 

  The discretion of a man deferreth his anger; and it is his glory to pass over a transgression.  

 

 

-

12


 

  The king's wrath is as the roaring of a lion; but his favor is as dew upon the grass.  

 

 

-

13


 

  A foolish son is the calamity of his father: and the contentions of a wife are a continual dropping.  

 

 

-

14


 

  House and riches are the inheritance of fathers: and a prudent wife is from the LORD.  

 

 

-

15


 

  Slothfulness casteth into a deep sleep; and an idle soul shall suffer hunger.  

 

 

-

16


 

  He that keepeth the commandment keepeth his own soul; but he that despiseth his ways shall die.  

 

 

-

17


 

  He that hath pity upon the poor, lendeth to the LORD; and that which he hath given will he pay him again.  

 

 

-

18


 

  Chasten thy son while there is hope, and let not thy soul spare for his crying.  

 

 

-

19


 

  A man of great wrath shall suffer punishment: for if thou deliver him, yet thou must do it again.  

 

 

-

20


 

  Hear counsel, and receive instruction, that thou mayest be wise in thy latter end.  

 

 

-

21


 

  There are many devices in a man's heart; nevertheless the counsel of the LORD, that shall stand.  

 

 

-

22


 

  The desire of a man is his kindness: and a poor man is better than a liar.  

 

 

-

23


 

  The fear of the LORD tendeth to life: and he that hath it shall abide satisfied; he shall not be visited with evil.  

 

 

-

24


 

  A slothful man hideth his hand in his bosom, and will not so much as bring it to his mouth again.  

 

 

-

25


 

  Smite a scorner and the simple will beware: and reprove one that hath understanding, and he will understand knowledge.  

 

 

-

26


 

  He that wasteth his father, and chaseth away his mother, is a son that causeth shame, and bringeth reproach.  

 

 

-

27


 

  Cease, my son, to hear the instruction that causeth to err from the words of knowledge.  

 

 

-

28


 

  An ungodly witness scorneth judgment: and the mouth of the wicked devoureth iniquity.  

 

 

-

29


 

  Judgments are prepared for scorners, and stripes for the back of fools.
