Proverbs 19

New American Standard Bible NAS

1 Better is a poor man who walks in his integrity Than he who is perverse in speech and is a fool.

2 Also it is not good for a person to be without knowledge, And he who hurries his footsteps errs.

3 The foolishness of man ruins his way, And his heart rages against the LORD .

4 Wealth adds many friends, But a poor man is separated from his friend.

5 A false witness will not go unpunished, And he who tells lies will not escape.

6 Many will seek the favor of a generous man, And every man is a friend to him who gives gifts.

7 All the brothers of a poor man hate him; How much more do his friends abandon him! He pursues them with words, but they are gone.

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 tells lies will perish.

10 Luxury is not fitting for a fool; Much less for a slave to rule over princes.

11 A man's discretion makes him slow to anger, And it is his glory 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 destruction to his father, And the contentions of a wife are a constant dripping.

14 House and wealth are an inheritance from fathers, But a prudent wife is from the LORD .

15 Laziness casts into a deep sleep, And an idle man will suffer hunger.

16 He who keeps the commandment keeps his soul, But he who is careless of conduct will die.

17 One who is gracious to a poor man lends to the LORD , And He will repay him for his good deed.

18 Discipline your son while there is hope, And do not desire his death.

19 A man of great anger will bear the penalty, For if you rescue him, you will only have to do it again.

20 Listen to counsel and accept discipline, That you may be wise the rest of your days.

21 Many plans are in a man's heart, But the counsel of the LORD will stand.

22 What is desirable in a man is his kindness, And it is better to be a poor man than a liar .

23 The fear of the LORD leads to life, So that one may sleep satisfied, untouched by evil.

24 The sluggard buries his hand in the dish, But will not even bring it back to his mouth.

25 Strike a scoffer and the naive may become shrewd, But reprove one who has understanding and he will gain knowledge.

26 He who assaults his father and drives his mother away Is a shameful and disgraceful son.

27 Cease listening, my son, to discipline, And you will stray from the words of knowledge.

28 A rascally witness makes a mockery of justice, And the mouth of the wicked spreads iniquity.

29 Judgments are prepared for scoffers, And blows for the back of fools.

New International Version NIV

1 Better the poor whose walk is blameless than a fool whose lips are perverse.

2 Desire without knowledge is not good— how much more will hasty feet miss the way!

3 A person’s own folly leads to their ruin, yet their heart rages against the LORD.

4 Wealth attracts many friends, but even the closest friend of the poor person deserts them.

5 A false witness will not go unpunished, and whoever pours out lies will not go free.

6 Many curry favor with a ruler, and everyone is the friend of one who gives gifts.

7 The poor are shunned by all their relatives— how much more do their friends avoid them! Though the poor pursue them with pleading, they are nowhere to be found.

8 The one who gets wisdom loves life; the one who cherishes understanding will soon prosper.

9 A false witness will not go unpunished, and whoever pours out lies will perish.

10 It is not fitting for a fool to live in luxury— how much worse for a slave to rule over princes!

11 A person’s wisdom yields patience; it is to one’s glory to overlook an offense.

12 A king’s rage is like the roar of a lion, but his favor is like dew on the grass.

13 A foolish child is a father’s ruin, and a quarrelsome wife is like the constant dripping of a leaky roof.

14 Houses and wealth are inherited from parents, but a prudent wife is from the LORD.

15 Laziness brings on deep sleep, and the shiftless go hungry.

16 Whoever keeps commandments keeps their life, but whoever shows contempt for their ways will die.

17 Whoever is kind to the poor lends to the LORD, and he will reward them for what they have done.

18 Discipline your children, for in that there is hope; do not be a willing party to their death.

19 A hot-tempered person must pay the penalty; rescue them, and you will have to do it again.

20 Listen to advice and accept discipline, and at the end you will be counted among the wise.

21 Many are the plans in a person’s heart, but it is the LORD’s purpose that prevails.

22 What a person desires is unfailing love ; better to be poor than a liar.

23 The fear of the LORD leads to life; then one rests content, untouched by trouble.

24 A sluggard buries his hand in the dish; he will not even bring it back to his mouth!

25 Flog a mocker, and the simple will learn prudence; rebuke the discerning, and they will gain knowledge.

26 Whoever robs their father and drives out their mother is a child who brings shame and disgrace.

27 Stop listening to instruction, my son, and you will stray from the words of knowledge.

28 A corrupt witness mocks at justice, and the mouth of the wicked gulps down evil.

29 Penalties are prepared for mockers, and beatings for the backs of fools.
