Proverbs 19

Better
<02896>
[is] the poor
<07326> (8802)
that walketh
<01980> (8802)
in his integrity
<08537>_,
than [he that is] perverse
<06141>
in his lips
<08193>_,
and is a fool
<03684>_.
Also, [that] the soul
<05315>
[be] without knowledge
<01847>_,
[it is] not good
<02896>_;
and he that hasteth
<0213> (8801)
with [his] feet
<07272>
sinneth
<02398> (8802)_.
The foolishness
<0200>
of man
<0120>
perverteth
<05557> (8762)
his way
<01870>_:
and his heart
<03820>
fretteth
<02196> (8799)
against the LORD
<03068>_.
Wealth
<01952>
maketh
<03254> (8686)
many
<07227>
friends
<07453>_;
but the poor
<01800>
is separated
<06504> (8735)
from his neighbour
<07453>_.
A false
<08267>
witness
<05707>
shall not be unpunished
<05352> (8735)_,
and [he that] speaketh
<06315> (8686)
lies
<03577>
shall not escape
<04422> (8735)_.
{unpunished: Heb. held innocent}
Many
<07227>
will intreat
<02470> (8762)
the favour
<06440>
of the prince
<05081>_:
and every man [is] a friend
<07453>
to him
<0376>
that giveth gifts
<04976>_.
{him...: Heb. a man of gifts}
All the brethren
<0251>
of the poor
<07326> (8802)
do hate
<08130> (8804)
him: how much more do his friends
<04828>
go far
<07368> (8804)
from him? he pursueth
<07291> (8764)
[them with] words
<0561>_,
[yet] they [are] wanting [to him].
He that getteth
<07069> (8802)
wisdom
<03820>
loveth
<0157> (8802)
his own soul
<05315>_:
he that keepeth
<08104> (8802)
understanding
<08394>
shall find
<04672> (8800)
good
<02896>_.
{wisdom: Heb. an heart}
A false
<08267>
witness
<05707>
shall not be unpunished
<05352> (8735)_,
and [he that] speaketh
<06315> (8686)
lies
<03577>
shall perish
<06> (8799)_.
Delight
<08588>
is not seemly
<05000>
for a fool
<03684>_;
much less for a servant
<05650>
to have rule
<04910> (8800)
over princes
<08269>_.
The discretion
<07922>
of a man
<0120>
deferreth
<0748> (8689)
his anger
<0639>_;
and [it is] his glory
<08597>
to pass over
<05674> (8800)
a transgression
<06588>_.
{discretion: or, prudence}
The king's
<04428>
wrath
<02197>
[is] as the roaring
<05099>
of a lion
<03715>_;
but his favour
<07522>
[is] as dew
<02919>
upon the grass
<06212>_.
A foolish
<03684>
son
<01121>
[is] the calamity
<01942>
of his father
<01>_:
and the contentions
<04079>
of a wife
<0802>
[are] a continual
<02956> (8802)
dropping
<01812>_.
House
<01004>
and riches
<01952>
[are] the inheritance
<05159>
of fathers
<01>_:
and a prudent
<07919> (8688)
wife
<0802>
[is] from the LORD
<03068>_.
Slothfulness
<06103>
casteth
<05307> (8686)
into a deep sleep
<08639>_;
and an idle
<07423>
soul
<05315>
shall suffer hunger
<07456> (8799)_.
He that keepeth
<08104> (8802)
the commandment
<04687>
keepeth
<08104> (8802)
his own soul
<05315>_;
[but] he that despiseth
<0959> (8802)
his ways
<01870>
shall die
<04191> (8799)_.
He that hath pity
<02603> (8802)
upon the poor
<01800>
lendeth
<03867> (8688)
unto the LORD
<03068>_;
and that which he hath given
<01576>
will he pay him again
<07999> (8762)_.
{that which...: or, his deed}
Chasten
<03256> (8761)
thy son
<01121>
while there is
<03426>
hope
<08615>_,
and let not thy soul
<05315>
spare
<05375> (8799)
for his crying
<04191> (8687)_.
{for...: or, to his destruction: or, to cause him to die}
A man
<01419>
of great
<01632>
wrath
<02534>
shall suffer
<05375> (8802)
punishment
<06066>_:
for if thou deliver
<05337> (8686)
[him], yet thou must do it again
<03254> (8686)_.
{do: Heb. add}
Hear
<08085> (8798)
counsel
<06098>_,
and receive
<06901> (8761)
instruction
<04148>_,
that thou mayest be wise
<02449> (8799)
in thy latter end
<0319>_.
[There are] many
<07227>
devices
<04284>
in a man's
<0376>
heart
<03820>_;
nevertheless the counsel
<06098>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
that shall stand
<06965> (8799)_.
The desire
<08378>
of a man
<0120>
[is] his kindness
<02617>_:
and a poor man
<07326> (8802)
[is] better
<02896>
than
<0376>
a liar
<03577>_.
The fear
<03374>
of the LORD
<03068>
[tendeth] to life
<02416>_:
and [he that hath it] shall abide
<03885> (8799)
satisfied
<07649>_;
he shall not be visited
<06485> (8735)
with evil
<07451>_.
A slothful
<06102>
[man] hideth
<02934> (8804)
his hand
<03027>
in [his] bosom
<06747>_,
and will not so much as bring
<07725> (0)
it to his mouth
<06310>
again
<07725> (8686)_.
Smite
<05221> (8686)
a scorner
<03887> (8801)_,
and the simple
<06612>
will beware
<06191> (8686)_:
and reprove
<03198> (8689)
one that hath understanding
<0995> (8737)_,
[and] he will understand
<0995> (8799)
knowledge
<01847>_.
{will beware: Heb. will be cunning}
He that wasteth
<07703> (8764)
[his] father
<01>_,
[and] chaseth away
<01272> (8686)
[his] mother
<0517>_,
[is] a son
<01121>
that causeth shame
<0954> (8688)_,
and bringeth reproach
<02659> (8688)_.
Cease
<02308> (8798)_,
my son
<01121>_,
to hear
<08085> (8800)
the instruction
<04148>
[that causeth] to err
<07686> (8800)
from the words
<0561>
of knowledge
<01847>_.
An ungodly
<01100>
witness
<05707>
scorneth
<03887> (8686)
judgment
<04941>_:
and the mouth
<06310>
of the wicked
<07563>
devoureth
<01104> (8762)
iniquity
<0205>_.
{An...: Heb. A witness of Belial}
Judgments
<08201>
are prepared
<03559> (8738)
for scorners
<03887> (8801)_,
and stripes
<04112>
for the back
<01460>
of fools
<03684>_.
