Proverbs 19 KJV
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.
