Holy Bible
(King James Version)
Proverbs:
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: his heart fretteth against
the LORD.
4. Wealth maketh many friends; but the poor is separated from his
neighbour.
5. A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaketh lies
shall not escape.
6. Many will entreat the favour 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 favour 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 unto 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.
