PR-19:1  Better [is] the poor that walketh in his integrity,

than [he that is]


perverse in his lips, and is a fool.


PR-19:2  Also, [that] the soul [be] without knowledge, [it is]

not good; and


he that hasteth with [his] feet sinneth.


PR-19:3  The foolishness of man perverteth his way: and his

heart fretteth


against the LORD.


PR-19:4  Wealth maketh many friends; but the poor is separated

from his


neighbour.


PR-19:5  A false witness shall not be unpunished, and [he that]

speaketh lies


shall not escape.


PR-19:6  Many will entreat the favour of the prince: and every

man [is] a


friend to him that giveth gifts.


PR-19:7  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].


PR-19:8  He that getteth wisdom loveth his own soul: he that

keepeth


understanding shall find good.


PR-19:9  A false witness shall not be unpunished, and [he that]

speaketh lies


shall perish.


PR-19:10  Delight is not seemly for a fool; much less for a

servant to have


rule over princes.


PR-19:11  The discretion of a man deferreth his anger; and [it

is] his glory


to pass over a transgression.


PR-19:12  The king's wrath [is] as the roaring of a lion; but

his favour [is]


as dew upon the grass.


PR-19:13  A foolish son [is] the calamity of his father: and the

contentions


of a wife [are] a continual dropping.


PR-19:14  House and riches [are] the inheritance of fathers: and

a prudent


wife [is] from the LORD.


PR-19:15  Slothfulness casteth into a deep sleep; and an idle

soul shall


suffer hunger.


PR-19:16  He that keepeth the commandment keepeth his own soul;

[but] he that


despiseth his ways shall die.


PR-19:17  He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the LORD;

and that


which he hath given will he pay him again.


PR-19:18  Chasten thy son while there is hope, and let not thy

soul spare for


his crying.


PR-19:19  A man of great wrath shall suffer punishment: for if

thou deliver


[him], yet thou must do it again.


PR-19:20  Hear counsel, and receive instruction, that thou

mayest be wise in


thy latter end.


PR-19:21  [There are] many devices in a man's heart;

nevertheless the counsel


of the LORD, that shall stand.


PR-19:22  The desire of a man [is] his kindness: and a poor man

[is] better


than a liar.


PR-19:23  The fear of the LORD [tendeth] to life: and [he that

hath it] shall


abide satisfied; he shall not be visited with evil.


PR-19:24  A slothful [man] hideth his hand in [his] bosom, and

will not so


much as bring it to his mouth again.


PR-19:25  Smite a scorner, and the simple will beware: and

reprove one that


hath understanding, [and] he will understand knowledge.


PR-19:26  He that wasteth [his] father, [and] chaseth away [his]

mother, [is]


a son that causeth shame, and bringeth reproach.


PR-19:27  Cease, my son, to hear the instruction [that causeth]

to err from


the words of knowledge.


PR-19:28  An ungodly witness scorneth judgment: and the mouth of

the wicked


devoureth iniquity.


PR-19:29  Judgments are prepared for scorners, and stripes for

the back of


fools.
