Proverbs 19

[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13] [14] [15] [16] [17] [18] [19] [20] [21] [22] [23] [24] [25] [26] [27] [28] [29] [30] [31]

19:1 Better is the poor man, that walketh in his simplicity, than a rich man that is perverse in his lips, and unwise.

19:2 Where there is no knowledge of the soul, there is no good: and he that is hasty with his feet shall stumble.

19:3 The folly of a man supplanteth his seeps: and he fretteth in his mind against God.

19:4 Riches make many friends: but from the poor man, even they whom he had, depart.

19:5 A false witness shall not be unpunished: and he that speaketh lies shall not escape.

19:6 Many honour the person of him that is mighty, and are friends of him that giveth gifts.

19:7 The brethren of the poor man hate him: moreover also his friends have departed far from him. He that followeth after words only, shall have nothing.

19:8 But he that possesseth a mind, loveth his own soul, and he that keepeth prudence shall find good things.

19:9 A false witness shall not be unpunished: and he that speaketh lies, shall perish.

19:10 Delicacies are not seemly for a fool: nor for a servant to have rule over princes.

19:11 The learning of a man is known by patience and his glory is to pass over wrongs.

19:12 As the roaring of a lion, so also is the anger of a king: and his cheerfulness as the dew upon the grass.

19:13 A foolish son is the grief of his father: and a wrangling wife is like a roof continually dropping through.

19:14 House and riches are given by parents: but a prudent wife is properly from the Lord.

19:15 Slothfulness casteth into a deep sleep, and an idle soul shall suffer hunger.

19:16 He that keepeth the commandment, keepeth his own soul: but he that neglecteth his own way, shall die.

19:17 He that hath mercy on the poor, lendeth to the Lord: and he will repay him.

19:18 Chastise thy son, despair not: but to the killing of him set not thy soul.

19:19 He that is impatient, shall suffer damage: and when he shall take away he shall add another thing.

19:20 Hear counsel, and receive instruction, that thou mayst be wise in thy latter end.

19:21 There are many thoughts in the heart of a man: but the will of the Lord shall stand firm.

19:22 A needy man is merciful: and better is the poor than the lying man.

19:23 The fear of the Lord is unto life: and he shall abide in fulness without being visited with evil.

19:24 The slothful hideth his hand under his armpit, and will not so much as bring it to his mouth.

19:25 The wicked man being; scourged, the fool shall be wiser: but if thou rebuke a wise man he will understand discipline.

19:26 He that afflicteth his father, and chaseth away his mother, is infamous and unhappy.

19:27 Cease not, O my son, to hear instruction, and be not ignorant of the words of knowledge.

19:28 An unjust witness scorneth judgment: and the mouth of the wicked devoureth iniquity.

19:29 Judgments are prepared for scorners: and striking hammers for the bodies of fools.
