Proverbios 19:1-6

1 Más vale ser pobre e intachableque necio y embustero.

2 El afán sin conocimiento no vale nada;mucho yerra quien mucho corre.

3 La necedad del hombre le hace perder el rumbo,y para colmo su corazón se irrita contra el SEÑOR.

4 Con las riquezas aumentan los amigos,pero al pobre hasta su amigo lo abandona.

5 El testigo falso no quedará sin castigo;el que esparce mentiras no saldrá bien librado.

6 Muchos buscan congraciarse con los poderosos;todos son amigos de quienes reparten regalos.
