Proverbes 19

1Better^H2896 is the poor^H7326 that walketh^H1980 in his integrity^H8537 Than he that is perverse^H6141 in his lips^H8193 and is a fool^H3684. 2Also, that the soul^H5315 be without knowledge^H1847 is not good^H2896; And he that hasteth^H213 with his feet^H7272 sinneth^H2398. 3The foolishness^H200 of man^H120 subverteth^H5557 his way^H1870; And his heart^H3820 fretteth^H2196 against Jehovah^H3068. 4Wealth^H1952 addeth^H3254 many^H7227 friends^H7453; But the poor^H1800 is separated^H6504 from his friend^H7453. 5A false^H8267 witness^H5707 shall not be unpunished^H5352; And he that uttereth^H6315 lies^H3577 shall not escape^H4422. 6Many^H7227 will entreat^H2470 the favor^H6440 of the liberal^H5081 man; And every man is a friend^H7453 to him^H376 that giveth gifts^H4976. 7All the brethren^H251 of the poor^H7326 do hate^H8130 him: How much more do his friends^H4828 go far^H7368 from him! He pursueth^H7291 them with words^H561, but they are gone. 8He that getteth^H7069 wisdom^H3820 loveth^H157 his own soul^H5315: He that keepeth^H8104 understanding^H8394 shall find^H4672 good^H2896. 9A false^H8267 witness^H5707 shall not be unpunished^H5352; And he that uttereth^H6315 lies^H3577 shall perish^H6. 10Delicate^H8588 living is not seemly^H5000 for a fool^H3684; Much less for a servant^H5650 to have rule^H4910 over princes^H8269. 11The discretion^H7922 of a man^H120 maketh him slow^H748 to anger^H639; And it is his glory^H8597 to pass over^H5674 a transgression^H6588. 12The king's^H4428 wrath^H2197 is as the roaring^H5099 of a lion^H3715; But his favor^H7522 is as dew^H2919 upon the grass^H6212. 13A foolish^H3684 son^H1121 is the calamity^H1942 of his father^H1; And the contentions^H4079 of a wife^H802 are a continual^H2956 dropping^H1812. 14House^H1004 and riches^H1952 are an inheritance^H5159 from fathers^H1; But a prudent^H7919 wife^H802 is from Jehovah^H3068. 15Slothfulness^H6103 casteth^H5307 into a deep sleep^H8639; And the idle^H7423 soul^H5315 shall suffer hunger^H7456. 16He that keepeth^H8104 the commandment^H4687 keepeth^H8104 his soul^H5315; But he that is careless^H959 of his ways^H1870 shall die^H4191. 17He that hath pity^H2603 upon the poor^H1800 lendeth^H3867 unto Jehovah^H3068, And his good deed^H1576 will he pay him again^H7999. 18Chasten^H3256 thy son^H1121, seeing there is^H3426 hope^H8615; And set not thy^H5315 heart^H5375 on his destruction^H4191. 19A man^H1419 of great^H1632 wrath^H2534 shall bear^H5375 the penalty^H6066; For if thou deliver^H5337 him, thou must do it yet again^H3254. 20Hear^H8085 counsel^H6098, and receive^H6901 instruction^H4148, That thou mayest be wise^H2449 in thy latter end^H319. 21There are many^H7227 devices^H4284 in a man's^H376 heart^H3820; But the counsel^H6098 of Jehovah^H3068, that shall stand^H6965. 22That which maketh a man^H120 to be desired^H8378 is his kindness^H2617; And a poor man^H7326 is better^H2896 than^H376 a liar^H3577. 23The fear^H3374 of Jehovah^H3068 tendeth to life^H2416; And he that hath it shall abide^H3885 satisfied^H7649; He shall not be visited^H6485 with evil^H7451. 24The sluggard^H6102 burieth^H2934 his hand^H3027 in the dish^H6747, And will not so much as bring^H7725 it to his mouth^H6310 again^H7725. 25Smite^H5221 a scoffer^H3887, and the simple^H6612 will learn prudence^H6191; And reprove^H3198 one that hath understanding^H995, and he will understand^H995 knowledge^H1847. 26He that doeth^H7703 violence to his father^H1, and chaseth away^H1272 his mother^H517, Is a son^H1121 that causeth shame^H954 and bringeth reproach^H2659. 27Cease^H2308, my son^H1121, to hear^H8085 instruction^H4148 Only to err^H7686 from the words^H561 of knowledge^H1847. 28A worthless^H1100 witness^H5707 mocketh^H3887 at justice^H4941; And the mouth^H6310 of the wicked^H7563 swalloweth^H1104 iniquity^H7563. 29Judgments^H8201 are prepared^H3559 for scoffers^H3887, And stripes^H4112 for the back^H1460 of fools^H3684.
