Proverbs - ch 19 v 1 - 20
- Better is the poor man, that walketh in his simplicity, than a rich man that is perverse in his lips, and unwise.
- Where there is no knowledge of the soul, there is no good: and he that is hasty with his feet shall stumble.
- The folly of a man supplanteth his seeps: and he fretteth in his mind against God.
- Riches make many friends: but from the poor man, even they whom he had, depart.
- A false witness shall not be unpunished: and he that speaketh lies shall not escape.
- Many honour the person of him that is mighty, and are friends of him that giveth gifts.
- The brethren of the poor man hate him: moreover also his friends have departed far from him. He that followeth after words only, shall have nothing.
- But he that possesseth a mind, loveth his own soul, and he that keepeth prudence shall find good things.
- A false witness shall not be unpunished: and he that speaketh lies, shall perish.
- Delicacies are not seemly for a fool: nor for a servant to have rule over princes.
- The learning of a man is known by patience and his glory is to pass over wrongs.
- As the roaring of a lion, so also is the anger of a king: and his cheerfulness as the dew upon the grass.
- A foolish son is the grief of his father: and a wrangling wife is like a roof continually dropping through.
- House and riches are given by parents: but a prudent wife is properly from the Lord.
- Slothfulness casteth into a deep sleep, and an idle soul shall suffer hunger.
- He that keepeth the commandment, keepeth his own soul: but he that neglecteth his own way, shall die.
- He that hath mercy on the poor, lendeth to the Lord: and he will repay him.
- Chastise thy son, despair not: but to the killing of him set not thy soul.
- He that is impatient, shall suffer damage: and when he shall take away he shall add another thing.
- Hear counsel, and receive instruction, that thou mayst be wise in thy latter end.
