The Fear of the Lord Leads to Life

|
# Chapter 19
|
|
1. Better is the poor who walks in his integrity
|
|
Than one who is perverse in his lips, and is a fool.
|
|
|
|
2. Also it is not good for a soul to be without knowledge,
|
|
And he sins who hastens with his feet.
|
|
|
|
3. The foolishness of a man twists his way,
|
|
And his heart frets against the Lord.
|
|
|
|
4. Wealth makes many friends,
|
|
But the poor is separated from his friend.
|
|
|
|
5. A false witness will not go unpunished,
|
|
And he who speaks lies will not escape.
|
|
|
|
6. Many entreat the favor of the nobility,
|
|
And every man is a friend to one who gives gifts.
|
|
|
|
7. All the brothers of the poor hate him;
|
|
How much more do his friends go far from him!
|
|
He may pursue them with words, yet they abandon him.
|
|
|
|
8. He who gets wisdom loves his own soul;
|
|
He who keeps understanding will find good.
|
|
|
|
9. A false witness will not go unpunished,
|
|
And he who speaks lies shall perish.
|
|
|
|
10. Luxury is not fitting for a fool,
|
|
Much less for a servant to rule over princes.
|
|
|
|
11. The discretion of a man makes him slow to anger,
|
|
And his glory is to overlook a transgression.
|
|
|
|
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 ruin of his father,
|
|
And the contentions of a wife are a continual dripping.
|
|
|
|
14. Houses and riches are an inheritance from fathers,
|
|
But a prudent wife is from the Lord.
|
|
|
|
15. Laziness casts one into a deep sleep,
|
|
And an idle person will suffer hunger.
|
|
|
|
16. He who keeps the commandment keeps his soul,
|
|
But he who is careless of his ways will die.
|
|
|
|
17. He who has pity on the poor lends to the Lord,
|
|
And He will pay back what he has given.
|
|
|
|
18. Chasten your son while there is hope,
|
|
And do not set your heart on his destruction.
|
|
|
|
19. A man of great wrath will suffer punishment;
|
|
For if you rescue him, you will have to do it again.
|
|
|
|
20. Listen to counsel and receive instruction,
|
|
That you may be wise in your latter days.
|
|
|
|
21. There are many plans in a man's heart,
|
|
Nevertheless the Lord's counsel--that will stand.
|
|
|
|
22. What is desired in a man is kindness,
|
|
And a poor man is better than a liar.
|
|
|
|
23. The fear of the Lord leads to life,
|
|
And he who has it will abide in satisfaction;
|
|
He will not be visited with evil.
|
|
|
|
24. A lazy man buries his hand in the bowl,
|
|
And will not so much as bring it to his mouth again.
|
|
|
|
25. Strike a scoffer, and the simple will become wary;
|
|
Rebuke one who has understanding, and he will discern knowledge.
|
|
|
|
26. He who mistreats his father and chases away his mother
|
|
Is a son who causes shame and brings reproach.
|
|
|
|
27. Cease listening to instruction, my son,
|
|
And you will stray from the words of knowledge.
|
|
|
|
28. A disreputable witness scorns justice,
|
|
And the mouth of the wicked devours iniquity.
|
|
|
|
29. Judgments are prepared for scoffers,
|
|
And beatings for the backs of fools.
