Proverbs 19 (New International Version)

Proverbs 19

1 Better a poor man whose
walk is blameless
than a fool whose
lips are perverse.

2 It is not good to have zeal
without knowledge,
nor to be hasty and
miss the way.

3 A man's own folly ruins his
life,
yet his heart rages against the
LORD.

4 Wealth brings many friends,

but a poor man's friend deserts him.

5 A false witness will not go
unpunished,
and he who pours out lies
will not go free.

6 Many curry favor with a
ruler,
and everyone is the friend of a
man who gives gifts.

7 A poor man is shunned by
all his relatives—
how much more do his
friends avoid him!
Though he pursues
them with pleading,
they are nowhere to
be found.

8 He who gets wisdom loves
his own soul;
he who cherishes
understanding prospers.

9 A false witness will not go
unpunished,
and he who pours out lies
will perish.

10 It is not fitting for a
fool to live in luxury—
how much worse
for a slave to rule over princes!

11 A man's wisdom gives him
patience;
it is to his glory to
overlook an offense.

12 A king's rage is like the
roar of a lion,
but his favor is like
dew on the grass.

13 A foolish son is his
father's ruin,
and a quarrelsome wife
is like a constant dripping.

14 Houses and wealth are
inherited from parents,
but a prudent
wife is from the LORD.

15 Laziness brings on deep
sleep,
and the shiftless man goes
hungry.

16 He who obeys instructions
guards his life,
but he who is
contemptuous of his ways will die.

17 He who is kind to the poor
lends to the LORD,
and he will reward
him for what he has done.

18 Discipline your son, for
in that there is hope;
do not be a
willing party to his death.

19 A hot-tempered man must
pay the penalty;
if you rescue him, you
will have to do it again.

20 Listen to advice and
accept instruction,
and in the end you
will be wise.

21 Many are the plans in a
man's heart,
but it is the LORD's
purpose that prevails.

22 What a man desires is
unfailing love ;

better to be poor than a liar.

23 The fear of the LORD leads
to life:
Then one rests content,
untouched by trouble.

24 The sluggard buries his
hand in the dish;
he will not even
bring it back to his mouth!

25 Flog a mocker, and the
simple will learn prudence;
rebuke a
discerning man, and he will gain knowledge.

26 He who robs his father and
drives out his mother
is a son who
brings shame and disgrace.

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

28 A corrupt witness mocks at
justice,
and the mouth of the wicked
gulps down evil.

29 Penalties are prepared for
mockers,
and beatings for the backs of
fools.
