Proverbs 19

American Standard Version ASV

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 is not good; And he that hasteth with his feet sinneth.

3 The foolishness of man subverteth his way; And his heart fretteth against Jehovah.

4 Wealth addeth many friends; But the poor is separated from his friend.

5 A false witness shall not be unpunished; And he that uttereth lies shall not escape.

6 Many will entreat the favor of the liberal man; 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, [but] they are gone.

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 uttereth lies shall perish.

10 Delicate living is not seemly for a fool; Much less for a servant to have rule over princes.

11 The discretion of a man maketh him slow to 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 favor 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 an inheritance from fathers; But a prudent wife is from Jehovah.

15 Slothfulness casteth into a deep sleep; And the idle soul shall suffer hunger.

16 He that keepeth the commandment keepeth his soul; [But] he that is careless of his ways shall die.

17 He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto Jehovah, And his good deed will he pay him again.

18 Chasten thy son, seeing there is hope; And set not thy heart on his destruction.

19 A man of great wrath shall bear the penalty; For if thou deliver [him], thou must do it yet 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; But the counsel of Jehovah, that shall stand.

22 That which maketh a man to be desired is his kindness; And a poor man is better than a liar.

23 The fear of Jehovah [tendeth] to life; And he [that hath it] shall abide satisfied; He shall not be visited with evil.

24 The sluggard burieth his hand in the dish, And will not so much as bring it to his mouth again.

25 Smite a scoffer, and the simple will learn prudence; And reprove one that hath understanding, [and] he will understand knowledge.

26 He that doeth violence to his father, and chaseth away his mother, Is a son that causeth shame and bringeth reproach.

27 Cease, my son, to hear instruction [Only] to err from the words of knowledge.

28 A worthless witness mocketh at justice; And the mouth of the wicked swalloweth iniquity.

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

Holman Christian Standard Bible CSB

1 Better a poor man who walks in integrity than someone who has deceitful lips and is a fool.

2 Even zeal is not good without knowledge, and the one who acts hastily sins.

3 A man's own foolishness leads him astray, yet his heart rages against the Lord.

4 Wealth attracts many friends, but a poor man is separated from his friend.

5 A false witness will not go unpunished, and one who utters lies will not escape.

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

7 All the brothers of a poor man hate him; how much more do his friends keep their distance from him! He may pursue [them with] words, [but] they are not [there].

8 The one who acquires good sense loves himself; one who safeguards understanding finds success.

9 A false witness will not go unpunished, and one who utters lies perishes.

10 Luxury is not appropriate for a fool- how much less for a slave to rule over princes!

11 A person's insight gives him patience, and his virtue is to overlook an offense.

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

13 A foolish son is his father's ruin, and a wife's nagging is an endless dripping.

14 A house and wealth are inherited from fathers, but a sensible wife is from the Lord.

15 Laziness induces deep sleep, and a lazy person will go hungry.

16 The one who keeps commands preserves himself; one who disregards his ways will die.

17 Kindness to the poor is a loan to the Lord, and He will give a reward to the lender.

18 Discipline your son while there is hope; don't be intent on killing him.

19 A person with great anger bears the penalty; if you rescue him, you'll have to do it again.

20 Listen to counsel and receive instruction so that you may be wise in later life.

21 Many plans are in a man's heart, but the Lord's decree will prevail.

22 A man's desire should be loyalty to the covenant; better to be a poor man than a perjurer.

23 The fear of the Lord leads to life; one will sleep at night without danger.

24 The slacker buries his hand in the bowl; he doesn't even bring it back to his mouth.

25 Strike a mocker, and the inexperienced learn a lesson; rebuke the discerning, and he gains knowledge.

26 The one who assaults his father and evicts his mother is a disgraceful and shameful son.

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

28 A worthless witness mocks justice, and a wicked mouth swallows iniquity.

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