Proverbs 19 📜 📕 ↷
Man of Integrity
1 Better is a poor man, that walketh in his simplicity, than a rich writhing his lips, and unwise.📜💬📚
2 Where is no knowledge of the soul, is not good: and he that is hasty with his feet shall stumble.📜💬📚
3 The folly of a man supplanteth his steps: and he boileth in his mind against God.📜💬📚
4 Riches add many friends: but from the poor they also which he had are separated.📜💬📚
5 A false witness shall not be unpunished: & he that speaketh lies, shall not escape.📜💬📚
6 Many worship the person of the mighty, and are friends of him that giveth gifts.📜💬📚
7 The brethren of the poor man hate him: moreover also his friends have departed far from him.📜💬📚
8 He that pursueth words only, shall have nothing: but he that is possessor of the mind, loveth his soul, and the keeper of prudence shall find good things.📜💬📚
9 A false witness shall not be unpunished: and he that speaketh lies shall perish.📜💬📚
10 Delicacies become not a fool: nor a servant to rule over Princes.📜💬📚
11 The doctrine of man is known by patience: and his glory is to overpass unjust things.📜💬📚
12 As the roaring of a lion, so also the anger of a king: and as dew upon grass, so also his cheerfulness.📜💬📚
13 The sorrow of the father, a foolish son: and roofs continually dropping through, a woman full of brawling.📜💬📚
14 House and riches are given of the parents: but of our Lord properly a prudent wife.📜💬📚
15 Slothfulness bringeth drowsiness, and a dissolute soul shall be an hungered.📜💬📚
16 He that keepeth the commandment, keepeth his soul: but he that neglecteth his way, shall die.📜💬📚
17 He lendeth our Lord that hath mercy on the poor: and he will repay him the like.📜💬📚
18 Nurture thy son, despair not: but to the killing of him set not thy soul.📜💬📚
19 He that is impatient shall sustain damage: and when he shall take away violently, he shall add an other thing.📜💬📚
20 Hear counsel, and receive discipline, that thou mayst be wise in thy later ends.📜💬📚
21 Many cogitations in the heart of a man: but the will of our Lord shall be permanent.📜💬📚
22 A needy man is merciful: and better is the poor than the lying man.📜💬📚
23 The fear of our Lord unto life: and in fullness he shall abide, without the visitation most noisome:📜💬📚
24 The slothful hideth his hand under the arm-hole, neither doth he put it to his mouth.📜💬📚
25 The pestilent man being whipped, the fool shall be wiser: but if thou rebuke a wiseman he will understand discipline.📜💬📚
26 He that afflicteth his father, and flyeth from his mother, is ignominious and unhappy.📜💬📚
27 Cease not, o son, to hear doctrine, neither be ignorant of the words of knowledge.📜💬📚
28 An unjust witness scorneth judgment: and the mouth of the impious devoureth iniquity.📜💬📚
29 Judgments are prepared for scorners: & hammers striking for the bodies of fools.📜💬📚
