| Proverbs 19: (KJV) |
| 1) Better is the poor that walketh in his integrity, than he that is perverse in his lips, and is a fool. |
| 2) Also, that the soul be without knowledge, it is not good; and he that hasteth with his feet sinneth. |
| 3) The foolishness of man perverteth his way: and his heart fretteth against the LORD. |
| 4) Wealth maketh many friends; but the poor is separated from his neighbour. |
| 5) A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaketh lies shall not escape. |
| 6) Many will intreat the favour of the prince: and every man is a friend to him that giveth gifts. |
| 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. |
| 8) He that getteth wisdom loveth his own soul: he that keepeth understanding shall find good. |
| 9) A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaketh lies shall perish. |
| 10) Delight is not seemly for a fool; much less for a servant to have rule over princes. |
| 11) The discretion of a man deferreth his anger; and it is his glory to pass over a transgression. |
| 12) The king's wrath is as the roaring of a lion; but his favour is as dew upon the grass. |
| 13) A foolish son is the calamity of his father: and the contentions of a wife are a continual dropping. |
| 14) House and riches are the inheritance of fathers: and a prudent wife is from the LORD. |
| 15) Slothfulness casteth into a deep sleep; and an idle soul shall suffer hunger. |
| 16) He that keepeth the commandment keepeth his own soul; but he that despiseth his ways shall die. |
| 17) He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the LORD; and that which he hath given will he pay him again. |
| 18) Chasten thy son while there is hope, and let not thy soul spare for his crying. |
| 19) A man of great wrath shall suffer punishment: for if thou deliver him, yet thou must do it again. |
| 20) Hear counsel, and receive instruction, that thou mayest be wise in thy latter end. |
| 21) There are many devices in a man's heart; nevertheless the counsel of the LORD, that shall stand. |
| 22) The desire of a man is his kindness: and a poor man is better than a liar. |
| 23) The fear of the LORD tendeth to life: and he that hath it shall abide satisfied; he shall not be visited with evil. |
| 24) A slothful man hideth his hand in his bosom, and will not so much as bring it to his mouth again. |
| 25) Smite a scorner, and the simple will beware: and reprove one that hath understanding, and he will understand knowledge. |
| 26) He that wasteth his father, and chaseth away his mother, is a son that causeth shame, and bringeth reproach. |
| 27) Cease, my son, to hear the instruction that causeth to err from the words of knowledge. |
| 28) An ungodly witness scorneth judgment: and the mouth of the wicked devoureth iniquity. |
| 29) Judgments are prepared for scorners, and stripes for the back of fools. |
