Proverbs 19

The Complete Jewish Bible CJB

1 Better to be poor and live one's life uprightly than engage in crooked speech, for such a one is a fool.

2 To act without knowing how you function is not good; and if you rush ahead, you will miss your goal.

3 A person's own folly is what ruins his way, but he rages in his heart against ADONAI.

4 Wealth brings in many friends, but the poor man loses the one friend he has.

5 A false witness will not go unpunished; whoever breathes out lies will not escape.

6 Many ask favors of a generous person -to a giver of gifts, everyone is a friend.

7 A poor man's relatives all hate him; even more his friends stay away from him. He may pursue them with entreaties, but they aren't there to be found.

8 To acquire good sense is to love oneself; to treasure discernment is to prosper.

9 A false witness will not go unpunished; whoever breathes out lies will perish.

10 It isn't fitting for a fool to live in luxury, and even less for a slave to govern princes.

11 People with good sense are slow to anger, and it is their glory to overlook an offense.

12 A king's wrath is like the roaring of a lion, but his favor is like dew on the grass.

13 A son who is a fool is his father's ruin, and a nagging wife is like a leak that keeps dripping.

14 A house and wealth are inherited from ancestors, but a sensible wife is from ADONAI.

15 Laziness makes people fall asleep, and an idle person will go hungry.

16 He who keeps a mitzvah keeps himself safe, but he who doesn't care how he lives will die.

17 He who is kind to the poor is lending to ADONAI; and he will repay him for his good deed.

18 Discipline your child while there is hope, but don't get so angry that you kill him!

19 A violent-tempered person will be punished; if you try to save him from it, you make things worse.

20 Listen to advice, and accept discipline, so that in the end you will be wise.

21 One can devise many plans in one's mind, but ADONAI's plan will prevail.

22 A man's lust is his shame, and a poor man is better than a liar.

23 The fear of ADONAI leads to life; one who has it is satisfied and rests untouched by evil.

24 The lazy person buries his hand in the dish but doesn't even bother to bring it to his mouth.

25 If you strike a scorner, the simple will learn to act wisely; if you reprove the intelligent, he will understand what you mean.

26 One who mistreats his father and evicts his mother is a son who brings them shame and disgrace.

27 My son, if you stop heeding discipline, you will stray from the principles of knowledge.

28 A worthless witness mocks at justice, and the mouth of the wicked swallows wrongdoing.

29 Judgments are in store for scorners and blows for the backs of fools.

King James Version 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.
