Proverbs 19

On Life and Conduct

1

 aBetterh2896a is a poorh7326 man who  bwalksh1980 in his integrityh8537 Thanh4480 he whoh6141 is perverseh6141 in  1speechh8193 and is a foolh3684.

2

Alsoh1571 it is not goodh2896a for a personh5315 to be withouth3808 knowledgeh1847, And he who hurriesh213  1 ahis footstepsh7272  2errsh2398.

3

The  afoolishnessh200 of manh120 ruinsh5557 his wayh1870, And his hearth3820  bragesh2196 againsth5921 the LORDh3068.

4

 aWealthh1952 addsh3254 manyh7227a friendsh7453, But a poorh1800b manh1800b is separatedh6504 from his friendh7453.

5

A  afalseh8267 witnessh5707 will not goh5352 unpunishedh5352, And he who  1 btellsh6315 liesh3577 will not escapeh4422.

6

 aManyh7227a will seekh2470b the favorh6440 of a  1generoush5081 manh5081, And everyh3605 manh3605 is a friendh7453 to him who  bgives giftsh4976.

7

Allh3605 the brothersh251 of a poorh7326 manh7326 hateh8130 him; Howh637 muchh637h3588 moreh637 do his  afriendsh4828 abandonh7368 him! He  bpursuesh7291 them with wordsh561, but they are  1goneh3808.

8

He who getsh7069  1wisdomh3820 lovesh157 his own soulh5315; He who keepsh8104 understandingh8394 will  afindh4672 goodh2896b.

9

A  afalseh8267 witnessh5707 will not goh5352 unpunishedh5352, And he who  1tellsh6315 liesh3577 will perishh6.

10

Luxuryh8588 is  anot fittingh5000 for a foolh3684; Muchh637h3588 lessh637 for a  bslaveh5650 to ruleh4910 over princesh8269.

11

A man'sh120  adiscretionh7922 makesh748 him slowh748 to angerh639, And it is his gloryh8597  bto overlookh5674a a transgressionh6588.

12

The  aking'sh4428 wrathh2197 is like the roaringh5099 of a lionh3715, But his favorh7522 is like  bdewh2919 on the grassh6212a.

13

A  afoolishh3684 sonh1121 is destructionh1942 to his fatherh1, And the  bcontentionsh4066 of a wifeh802 are a constanth2956 drippingh1812.

14

Househ1004 and wealthh1952 are an  ainheritanceh5159 from fathersh1, But a prudenth7919a wifeh802 is from the LORDh3068.

15

 aLazinessh6103 castsh5307 into a deeph8639 sleeph8639, And an idleh7423b  1manh5315 will sufferh7456 hungerh7456.

16

He who  akeepsh8104 the commandmenth4687 keepsh8104 his soulh5315, But he who  1is carelessh959 of  2conducth1870 will dieh4191.

17

One who  ais gracioush2603a to a poorh1800b manh1800b lendsh3867b to the LORDh3068, And He will repayh7999a him for his  1 bgoodh1576 deedh1576.

18

 aDisciplineh3256 your sonh1121 whileh3588 thereh3426 is hopeh8615b, And do not desireh5375h5315  1his deathh4191.

19

A man of greath1419 angerh2534 will bearh5375 the penaltyh6066, For ifh518 you rescueh5337 him, you will only have to doh3254 it againh3254.

20

 aListenh8085 to counselh6098 and accepth6901 disciplineh4148, That you may be wiseh2449  1the resth319 of your days.

21

Manyh7227a  aplansh4284 are in a man'sh376 hearth3820, But the  bcounselh6098 of the LORDh3068 will standh6965.

22

Whath8378 is desirableh8378 in a manh120 is his  1kindnessh2617a, And it is betterh2896a to be a poorh7326 man thanh4480 a liarh376h3577.

23

The  1 afearh3374 of the LORDh3068 leads to lifeh2425b, So that one may sleeph3885a  bsatisfiedh7649,  2 cuntouchedh1077h6485 by evilh7451b.

24

The  asluggardh6102 buriesh2934 his handh3027  bin the dishh6747, But will not evenh1571 bringh7725 it backh7725 to his mouthh6310.

25

 aStrikeh5221 a scofferh3917b and the  1naiveh6612a may becomeh6191 shrewdh6191, But  breproveh3198 one who hash995 understandingh995 and he will  2gainh995 knowledgeh1847.

26

He  awho assaultsh7703 his fatherh1 and drivesh1272 his motherh517 awayh1272 Is a shamefulh954 and disgracefulh2659 sonh1121.

27

Ceaseh2308 listeningh8085, my sonh1121, to disciplineh4148, And you will strayh7686 from the wordsh561 of knowledgeh1847.

28

A rascallyh1100 witnessh5707 makesh3917b a mockeryh3917b of justiceh4941, And the mouthh6310 of the wickedh7563  1 aspreadsh1104 iniquityh205.

29

 1Judgmentsh8201 are preparedh3559 for  ascoffersh3917b, And  bblowsh4112 for the backh1460a of foolsh3684.
