Proverbs.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Chapter 19.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Better is the poor who walks in his integrity than he who is perverse in his lips and is a fool.
|
|
|
|
|
|
It isn’t good to have zeal without knowledge, nor being hasty with one’s feet and missing the way.
|

|
|
|
|
The foolishness of man subverts his way; his heart rages against the LORD.

|
|
|
Wealth adds many friends, but the poor is separated from his friend.
|
|
|
|
|
|
A false witness shall not be unpunished. He who pours out lies shall not go free.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Many will entreat the favor of a ruler, and everyone is a friend to a man who gives gifts.
|
|
|
|
|
|
All the relatives of the poor shun him; how much more do his friends avoid him! He pursues them with pleas, but they are gone.
|
|
|
|
|
|
He who gets wisdom loves his own soul. He who keeps understanding shall find good.
|
|
|
|
|
|
A false witness shall not be unpunished. He who utters lies shall perish.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Delicate living is not appropriate for a fool, much less for a servant to have rule over princes.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The discretion of a man makes him slow to anger. It is his glory to overlook an offense.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The king’s wrath is like the roaring of a lion, but his favor is like dew on the grass.
|
|
|
|
|
|
A foolish son is the calamity of his father. A wife’s quarrels are a continual dripping.
|

|
|
House and riches are an inheritance from fathers, but a prudent wife is from the LORD.
|

|
|
|
|
Slothfulness casts into a deep sleep. The idle soul shall suffer hunger.
|
|
|
|
|
|
He who keeps the commandment keeps his soul, but he who is contemptuous in his ways shall die.
|
2024-02-13 19:11:41 +00:00
|
|
|
|
He who has pity on the poor lends to the LORD; he will reward him.
|

|
|
|
|
Discipline your son, for there is hope; don’t be a willing party to his death.
|
|
|
|
|
|
A hot-tempered man must pay the penalty, for if you rescue him, you must do it again.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Listen to counsel and receive instruction, that you may be wise in your latter end.
|

|
|
|
|
There are many plans in a man’s heart, but the LORD’s counsel will prevail.
|

|
|
|
|
That which makes a man to be desired is his kindness. A poor man is better than a liar.
|

|
|
|
|
The fear of the LORD leads to life, then contentment; he rests and will not be touched by trouble.
|

|
|
|
|
The sluggard buries his hand in the dish; he will not so much as bring it to his mouth again.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Flog a scoffer, and the simple will learn prudence; rebuke one who has understanding, and he will gain knowledge.
|
|
|
|
|
|
He who robs his father and drives away his mother is a son who causes shame and brings reproach.
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you stop listening to instruction, my son, you will stray from the words of knowledge.
|
|
|
|
|
|
A corrupt witness mocks justice, and the mouth of the wicked gulps down iniquity.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Penalties are prepared for scoffers, and beatings for the backs of fools.
|
