Proverbs 19

Third Millennium Bible TMB

1 Better is the poor that walketh in his integrity, than he that is perverse in his lips and is a fool.

2 Even as a soul without knowledge is not good, so he that maketh haste 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 neighbor.

5 A false witness shall not be 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 him that giveth gifts.

7 All the brethren of the poor hate him--how much more do his friends go far from him! He pursueth them with words, yet they are not forthcoming 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 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 dripping.

14 House and riches are the inheritance from 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, He will repay him again.

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

19 A man of great wrath shall suffer punishment; for if thou rescue 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 What is desired 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; reprove one that hath understanding, and he will gain knowledge.

26 He that afflicteth 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 thee 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.

GOD'S WORD Translation GW

1 Better to be a poor person who lives innocently than to be one who talks dishonestly and is a fool.

2 A person without knowledge is no good. A person in a hurry makes mistakes.

3 The stupidity of a person turns his life upside down, and his heart rages against the LORD.

4 Wealth adds many friends, but a poor person is separated from his friend.

5 A lying witness will not go unpunished. One who tells lies will not escape.

6 Many try to win the kindness of a generous person, and everyone is a friend to a person who gives gifts.

7 The entire family of a poor person hates him. How much more do his friends keep their distance from him! When he chases them with words, they are gone.

8 A person who gains sense loves himself. One who guards understanding finds something good.

9 A lying witness will not go unpunished. One who tells lies will die.

10 Luxury does not fit a fool, much less a slave ruling princes.

11 A person with good sense is patient, and it is to his credit that he overlooks an offense.

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

13 A foolish son ruins his father, and a quarreling woman is like constantly dripping water.

14 Home and wealth are inherited from fathers, but a sensible wife comes from the LORD.

15 Laziness throws one into a deep sleep, and an idle person will go hungry.

16 Whoever obeys the law preserves his life, [but] whoever despises the LORD's ways will be put to death.

17 Whoever has pity on the poor lends to the LORD, and he will repay him for his good deed.

18 Discipline your son while there is still hope. Do not be the one responsible for his death.

19 A person who has a hot temper will pay for it. If you rescue him, you will have to do it over and over.

20 Listen to advice and accept discipline so that you may be wise the rest of your life.

21 Many plans are in the human heart, but the advice of the LORD will endure.

22 Loyalty is desirable in a person, and it is better to be poor than a liar.

23 The fear of the LORD leads to life, and such a person will rest easy without suffering harm.

24 A lazy person puts his fork in his food. He doesn't even bring it back to his mouth.

25 Strike a mocker, and a gullible person may learn a lesson. Warn an understanding person, and he will gain more knowledge.

26 A son who assaults his father [and] who drives away his mother brings shame and disgrace.

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

28 A worthless witness mocks justice, and the mouths of wicked people swallow up trouble.

29 Punishments are set for mockers and beatings for the backs of fools.
