CHAP. XIX.


1    noteBetter 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    noteWealth maketh many friends; but the poor is separated from his neighbor.


5    noteA false witness shall not be note unpunished, and he that speaketh lies shall not escape.


6   Many will entreat the favor of the prince: and every man is a friend to note him that giveth gifts.


7    noteAll 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 note wisdom loveth his own soul: he that keepeth understanding shall find good.


9    noteA false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaketh lies shall perish.


10   Delight is not seemly for a fool; much less note for a servant to have rule over princes.


11    noteThe note discretion of a man deferreth his anger; and it is his glory to pass over a transgression.


12    noteThe king's wrath is as the roaring of a lion; but his favor is as dew upon the grass.


13    noteA foolish son is the calamity of his father: note and the contentions of a wife are a continual dropping.


14   House and riches are the inheritance of fathers: and note a prudent wife is from the Lord.


15   Slothfulness casteth into a deep sleep; and an idle soul note shall suffer hunger.


16    noteHe that keepeth the commandment keepeth his own soul; but he that despiseth his ways shall die.


17    noteHe that hath pity upon the poor, lendeth to the Lord; and note that which he hath given will he pay him again.


18    noteChasten thy son while there is hope, and let not thy soul spare note for his crying.


19   A man of great wrath shall suffer punishment: for if thou deliver him, yet thou must note do it again.


20   Hear counsel, and receive instruction, that thou mayest be wise in thy latter end.


21    noteThere 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    noteA slothful man hideth his hand in his bosom, and will not so much as bring it to his mouth again.


25    noteSmite a scorner and the simple note 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    noteAn 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.
