Proverbs Chapter 19
|
|||
|
|
1 Better is the poor who walks in his integrity than he who is perverse in his lips and is a fool.
|
|||
|
|
2 It isn’t good to have zeal without knowledge, nor being hasty with one’s feet and missing the way.
|
|||
|
|
3 The foolishness of man subverts his way; his heart rages against Yahweh.
|
|||
|
|
4 Wealth adds many friends, but the poor is separated from his friend.
|
|||
|
|
5 A false witness shall not be unpunished. He who pours out lies shall not go free.
|
|||
|
|
6 Many will entreat the favor of a ruler, and everyone is a friend to a man who gives gifts.
|
|||
|
|
7 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.
|
|||
|
|
8 He who gets wisdom loves his own soul. He who keeps understanding shall find good.
|
|||
|
|
9 A false witness shall not be unpunished. He who utters lies shall perish.
|
|||
|
|
10 Delicate living is not appropriate for a fool, much less for a servant to have rule over princes.
|
|||
|
|
11 The discretion of a man makes him slow to anger. It is his glory to overlook an offense.
|
|||
|
|
12 The king’s wrath is like the roaring of a lion, but his favor is like dew on the grass.
|
|||
|
|
13 A foolish son is the calamity of his father. A wife’s quarrels are a continual dripping.
|
|||
|
|
14 House and riches are an inheritance from fathers, but a prudent wife is from Yahweh.
|
|||
|
|
15 Slothfulness casts into a deep sleep. The idle soul shall suffer hunger.
|
|||
|
|
16 He who keeps the commandment keeps his soul, but he who is contemptuous in his ways shall die.
|
|||
|
|
17 He who has pity on the poor lends to Yahweh; he will reward him.
|
|||
|
|
18 Discipline your son, for there is hope; don’t be a willing party to his death.
|
|||
|
|
19 A hot-tempered man must pay the penalty, for if you rescue him, you must do it again.
|
|||
|
|
20 Listen to counsel and receive instruction, that you may be wise in your latter end.
|
|||
|
|
21 There are many plans in a man’s heart, but Yahweh’s counsel will prevail.
|
|||
|
|
22 That which makes a man to be desired is his kindness. A poor man is better than a liar.
|
|||
|
|
23 The fear of Yahweh leads to life, then contentment; he rests and will not be touched by trouble.
|
|||
|
|
24 The sluggard buries his hand in the dish; he will not so much as bring it to his mouth again.
|
|||
|
|
25 Flog a scoffer, and the simple will learn prudence; rebuke one who has understanding, and he will gain knowledge.
|
|||
|
|
26 He who robs his father and drives away his mother is a son who causes shame and brings reproach.
|
|||
|
|
27 If you stop listening to instruction, my son, you will stray from the words of knowledge.
|
|||
|
|
28 A corrupt witness mocks justice, and the mouth of the wicked gulps down iniquity.
|
|||
|
|
29 Penalties are prepared for scoffers, and beatings for the backs of fools.
