19:1 Better is the poor who walks in his integrity Than he who is perverse in his lips and is a fool.

19:2 It isn`t good to have zeal without knowledge; Nor being hasty with one`s feet and missing the way.

19:3 The foolishness of man subverts his way; His heart rages against Yahweh.

19:4 Wealth adds many friends, But the poor is separated from his friend.

19:5 A false witness shall not be unpunished. He who pours out lies shall not go free.

19:6 Many will entreat the favor of a ruler, And everyone is a friend to a man who gives gifts.

19:7 All the relatives of the poor shun him: How much more do his friends avoid him! He pursues them with pleas, but they are gone.

19:8 He who gets wisdom loves his own soul. He who keeps understanding shall find good.

19:9 A false witness shall not be unpunished. He who utters lies shall perish.

19:10 Delicate living is not appropriate for a fool, Much less for a servant to have rule over princes.

19:11 The discretion of a man makes him slow to anger. It is his glory to overlook an offense.

19:12 The king`s wrath is like the roaring of a lion, But his favor is like dew on the grass.

19:13 A foolish son is the calamity of his father. A wife`s quarrels are a continual dripping.

19:14 House and riches are an inheritance from fathers, But a prudent wife is from Yahweh.

19:15 Slothfulness casts into a deep sleep. The idle soul shall suffer hunger.

19:16 He who keeps the commandment keeps his soul, But he who is contemptuous in his ways shall die.

19:17 He who has pity on the poor lends to Yahweh; He will reward him.

19:18 Discipline your son, for there is hope; Don`t be a willing party to his death.

19:19 A hot-tempered man must pay the penalty, For if you rescue him, you must do it again.

19:20 Listen to counsel and receive instruction, That you may be wise in your latter end.

19:21 There are many plans in a man`s heart, But Yahweh`s counsel will prevail.

19:22 That which makes a man to be desired is his kindness. A poor man is better than a liar.

19:23 The fear of Yahweh leads to life, then contentment; He rests and will not be touched by trouble.

19:24 The sluggard buries his hand in the dish; He will not so much as bring it to his mouth again.

19:25 Flog a scoffer, and the simple will learn prudence; Rebuke one who has understanding, and he will gain knowledge.

19:26 He who robs his father and drives away his mother, Is a son who causes shame and brings reproach.

19:27 Stop, my son, listening to instruction, And you will stray from the words of knowledge.

19:28 A corrupt witness mocks justice, And the mouth of the wicked gulps down iniquity.

19:29 Penalties are prepared for scoffers, And beatings for the backs of fools.
