Proverbs 19
|
|
| 19:1
Better is the poor that walketh in his integrity, than he that is perverse
in his lips, and is a fool. |
|
| 19:2
Also, that the soul be without knowledge, it is not good; and he that
hasteth with his feet sinneth. |
|
| 19:3

the LORD. |
|
| 19:4

|
| 19:5

not escape. |
|
| 19:6
Many will intreat the favour of the prince: and every man is a friend to
him that giveth gifts. |
|
| 19:7

far from him? he pursueth them with words, yet they are wanting to him. |
|
| 19:8
He that getteth wisdom loveth his own soul: he that keepeth understanding
shall find good. |
|
| 19:9
A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaketh lies shall
perish. |
|
| 19:10
Delight is not seemly for a fool; much less for a servant to have rule
over princes. |
|
| 19:11

over a transgression. |
|
| 19:12

upon the grass. |

are a continual dropping. |
|
| 19:14
House and riches are the inheritance of fathers: and a prudent wife is
from the LORD. |
|
| 19:15
Slothfulness casteth into a deep sleep; and an idle soul shall suffer
hunger. |
|
| 19:16
He that keepeth the commandment keepeth his own soul; but he that
despiseth his ways shall die. |
|
| 19:17
He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the LORD; and that which he
hath given will he pay him again. |
|
| 19:18
Chasten thy son while
there is hope, and let not thy soul spare for his crying. |
Beat your children and don't stop just because they cry.
