Proverbs 19:1-9 (New Revised Standard)
1
Better the poor walking in integrity than one perverse of speech who is a fool.
2
Desire without knowledge is not good, and one who moves too hurriedly misses the way.
3
One's own folly leads to ruin, yet the heart rages against the Lord.
4
Wealth brings many friends, but the poor are left friendless.
5
A false witness will not go unpunished, and a liar will not escape.
6
Many seek the favor of the generous, and everyone is a friend to a giver of gifts.
7
If the poor are hated even by their kin, how much more are they shunned by their friends! When they call after them, they are not there. a
8
To get wisdom is to love oneself; to keep understanding is to prosper.
9
A false witness will not go unpunished, and the liar will perish.
