ProverbsChapter 19 |
1 BETTER is the poor man who walks in his integrity than the rich man who is perverse in his ways. |
2 He who has no knowledge of his own soul, it is not good for him; and he who is hasty with his feet sins. |
3 The folly of a man perverts his ways; he frets in his heart against the LORD. |
4 Wealth makes many friends; but a poor man is deserted by his friends. |
5 A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he who speaks lies shall not escape. |
6 Many serve in the presence of a prince; he gives gifts even to those who are bad. |
7 All the brothers of the poor hate him; also his friends go far from him. He who makes mischief with his words is insincere. |
8 He who gets wisdom loves his own soul; he who keeps faithfulness shall find good. |
9 A false witness shall not be unpunished; and he who speaks lies shall perish. |
10 To live in luxury is not fitting for a fool; much less is it seemly for a servant to rule over princes. |
11 The discretion of a man is shown by his patience; he glories when his iniquity is removed. |
12 The king's wrath is like the roaring of a lion; but his favor is like dew upon grass. |
13 A foolish son is a disgrace to his father; and the contentions of a wife are like drippings. |
14 House and riches are the inheritance from fathers; but a wife is betrothed to a man from the LORD. |
15 Slothfulness casts into a deep sleep; and a proud man shall suffer hunger. |
16 He who keeps the law keeps his own soul; but he who despises right ways shall die. |
17 He who has pity upon the poor is a companion of the LORD; and he shall be repaid according to his works. |
18 Chasten your son while there is hope, and let not your soul share his dishonor. |
19 A man of great wrath shall suffer harm; the more he is hostile the more he increases his burden. |
20 Hear counsel and receive instruction that you may be wise in your ways. |
21 There are many devices in a man's heart; nevertheless the counsel of the LORD shall stand firm. |
22 The longing of a man is to do good; and a poor man is better than a rich man who lies. |
23 Reverence for the LORD leads to life; and he who is satisfied with it shall abide; he shall not be visited with evil. |
24 A sluggard hides his hands in his bosom and will not even try to bring them to his mouth again. |
25 When an evil man is scourged, a wise man takes heed; and when a wise man is reproved, he will gain understanding. |
26 He who plunders his father and grieves his mother is a son who causes shame and brings reproach. |
27 Wait, my son, and hear the instruction, and do not forget the words of knowledge. |
28 An ungodly witness scorns justice; and the mouth of the wicked devours him. |
29 Grief is prepared for those who scoff at justice, and a scourge for foolish people. |
