# Proverbs 19 (New King James Version)
|
|
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.
