Proverbs 19
1
Better is the poor who walks in his integrity
2
It isn’t good to have zeal without knowledge,
3
The foolishness of man subverts his way;
4
Wealth adds many friends,
5
A false witness shall not be unpunished.
6
Many will entreat the favor of a ruler,
7
All the relatives of the poor shun him;
8
He who gets wisdom loves his own soul.
9
A false witness shall not be unpunished.
10
Delicate living is not appropriate for a fool,
11
The discretion of a man makes him slow to anger.
12
The king’s wrath is like the roaring of a lion,
13
A foolish son is the calamity of his father.
14
House and riches are an inheritance from fathers,
15
Slothfulness casts into a deep sleep.
16
He who keeps the commandment keeps his soul,
17
He who has pity on the poor lends to the LORD;
18
Discipline your son, for there is hope;
19
A hot-tempered man must pay the penalty,
20
Listen to counsel and receive instruction,
21
There are many plans in a man’s heart,
22
That which makes a man to be desired is his kindness.
23
The fear of the LORD leads to life, then contentment;
24
The sluggard buries his hand in the dish;
25
Flog a scoffer, and the simple will learn prudence;
26
He who robs his father and drives away his mother
27
If you stop listening to instruction, my son,
28
A corrupt witness mocks justice,
29
Penalties are prepared for scoffers,
