Proverbs - Chapter 19 - King James 2000
- Better is the poor that walks in his integrity, than he that is perverse in his lips, and is a fool.
- Also, that the soul be without knowledge is not good; and he that hastens with his feet sins.
- The foolishness of man perverts his way: and his heart frets against the LORD.
- Wealth makes many friends; but the poor is separated from his neighbor.
- A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaks lies shall not escape.
- Many will entreat the favor of the prince: and every man is a friend to him that gives gifts.
- All the brethren of the poor do hate him: how much more do his friends go far from him? he pursues them with words, yet they are nothing to him.
- He that gets wisdom loves his own soul: he that keeps understanding shall find good.
- A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaks lies shall perish.
- Luxury is not fitting for a fool; much less for a servant to have rule over princes.
- The discretion of a man delays his anger; and it is his glory to overlook a transgression.
- The king's wrath is as the roaring of a lion; but his favor is as dew upon the grass.
- A foolish son is the calamity of his father: and the contentions of a wife are a continual dripping.
- House and riches are the inheritance from fathers: and a prudent wife is from the LORD.
- Slothfulness casts into a deep sleep; and an idle soul shall suffer hunger.
- He that keeps the commandment keeps his own soul; but he that despises his ways shall die.
- He that has pity upon the poor lends unto the LORD; and that which he has given will he pay him again.
- Chasten your son while there is hope, and let not your soul spare for his crying.
- A man of great wrath shall suffer punishment: for if you deliver him, yet you must do it again.
- Hear counsel, and receive instruction, that you may be wise in your latter days.
- There are many plans in a man's heart; nevertheless the counsel of the LORD, that shall stand.
- The desire of a man is his kindness: and a poor man is better than a liar.
- The fear of the LORD leads to life: and he that has it shall abide satisfied; he shall not be visited with evil.
- A slothful man hides his hand in his dish, and will not so much as bring it to his mouth again.
- Smite a scoffer, and the simple will beware: and reprove one that has understanding, and he will understand knowledge.
- He that mistreats his father, and chases away his mother, is a son that causes shame, and brings reproach.
- Cease, my son, to hear the instruction that causes to stray from the words of knowledge.
- An ungodly witness scorns judgment: and the mouth of the wicked devours iniquity.
- Judgments are prepared for scoffers and stripes for the back of fools.
