19:1 Better [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] .

19:2 Also, [that] the soul [H5315] [be] without knowledge [H1847] , [it is] not good [H2896] ; and he that hasteth [H213] with [his] feet [H7272] sinneth [H2398] .

19:4 Wealth [H1952] maketh [H3254] many [H7227] friends [H7453] ; but the poor [H1800] is separated [H6504] from his neighbour [H7453] .

19:5 A false [H8267] witness [H5707] shall not be unpunished [H5352] , and [he that] speaketh [H6315] lies [H3577] shall not escape [H4422] .(unpunished: Heb. held innocent)

19:6 Many [H7227] will intreat [H2470] the favour [H6440] of the prince [H5081] : and every man [is] a friend [H7453] to him [H376] that giveth gifts [H4976] .(him: Heb. a man of gifts)

19:7 All 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] , [yet] they [are] wanting [to him].

19:8 He that getteth [H7069] wisdom [H3820] loveth [H157] his own soul [H5315] : he that keepeth [H8104] understanding [H8394] shall find [H4672] good [H2896] .(wisdom: Heb. an heart)

19:9 A false [H8267] witness [H5707] shall not be unpunished [H5352] , and [he that] speaketh [H6315] lies [H3577] shall perish [H6] .

19:10 Delight [H8588] is not seemly [H5000] for a fool [H3684] ; much less for a servant [H5650] to have rule [H4910] over princes [H8269] .

19:11 The discretion [H7922] of a man [H120] deferreth [H748] his anger [H639] ; and [it is] his glory [H8597] to pass over [H5674] a transgression [H6588] .(discretion: or, prudence)

19:13 A 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] .

19:14 House [H1004] and riches [H1952] [are] the inheritance [H5159] of fathers [H1] : and a prudent [H7919] wife [H802] [is] from the LORD [H3068] .

19:15 Slothfulness [H6103] casteth [H5307] into a deep sleep [H8639] ; and an idle [H7423] soul [H5315] shall suffer hunger [H7456] .

19:16 He that keepeth [H8104] the commandment [H4687] keepeth [H8104] his own soul [H5315] ; [but] he that despiseth [H959] his ways [H1870] shall die [H4191] .

19:18 Chasten [H3256] thy son [H1121] while there is [H3426] hope [H8615] , and let not thy soul [H5315] spare [H5375] for his crying [H4191] .(for: or, to his destruction: or, to cause him to die)

19:19 A man [H1419] of great [H1632] wrath [H2534] shall suffer [H5375] punishment [H6066] : for if thou deliver [H5337] [him], yet thou must do it again [H3254] .(do: Heb. add)

19:24 A slothful [H6102] [man] hideth [H2934] his hand [H3027] in [his] bosom [H6747] , and will not so much as bring [H7725] it to his mouth [H6310] again [H7725] .
