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