Proverbs 19
19
1Better [is] the poor that walks in his integrity, than [he that is] perverse in his lips, and is a fool.
2Also, [that] the soul [be] without knowledge, [it is] not good; and he that hastes with [his] feet sins.
3The foolishness of man perverts his way: and his heart frets against the Lord-Yehōvah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate].
4Wealth makes many friends; but the poor is separated from his neighbour.
5A false witness shall not be unpunished, and [he that] speaks lies shall not escape.
6Many will intreat the favour of the prince: and every man [is] a friend to him that gives gifts.
7All the brethren of the poor do hate him: how much more do his friends go far from him? he pursues [them with] words, [yet] they [are] wanting [to him].
8He that gets wisdom loves his own soul: he that keeps understanding shall find good.
9A false witness shall not be unpunished, and [he that] speaks lies shall perish.
10Delight is not seemly (fitting; proper) for a fool; much less for a servant to have rule over princes.
11The discretion of a man defers his anger; and [it is] his glory to pass over a transgression.
12The king’s wrath [is] as the roaring of a lion; but his favour [is] as dew upon the grass.
13A foolish son [is] the calamity of his father: and the contentions of a wife [are] a continual dropping.
14House and riches [are] the inheritance of fathers: and a prudent wife [is] from the Lord-Yehōvah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate].
15Slothfulness casts into a deep sleep; and an idle soul shall suffer hunger.
16He that keeps the commandment keeps his own soul; [but] he that despises his ways shall die.
17He that has pity upon the poor lends unto the Lord-Yehōvah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate]; and that which he has given will he pay him again.
18Chasten youi son while there is hope, and let not youi soul spare for his crying.
19A man of great wrath shall suffer punishment: for if youi deliver [him], yet youi must do it again.
20Hear counsel, and receive instruction, that youi may be wise in youi latter end.
21 [There are] many devices in a man’s heart; nevertheless the counsel of the Lord-Yehōvah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate], that shall stand.
22The desire of a man [is] his kindness: and a poor man [is] better than a liar.
23The fear of the Lord-Yehōvah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate] [tends] to life: and [he that has it] shall abide satisfied; he shall not be visited with evil.
24A slothful [man] hides his hand in [his] bosom, and will not so much as bring it to his mouth again.
25Smite a scorner, and the simple will beware: and reprove one that has understanding, [and] he will understand knowledge.
26He that wastes [his] father, [and] chases away [his] mother, [is] a son that causes shame, and brings reproach (disgrace; shame).
27Cease, my son, to hear the instruction [that causes] to err from the words of knowledge.
28An ungodly witness scorns judgment: and the mouth of the wicked devours iniquity.
29Judgments are prepared for scorners, and stripes for the back of fools.
