29 Proverbs of Solomon 19:1

29 Proverbs of Solomon 19:1-29 ¹Better is the poor that walketh in his integrity, than he that is perverse in his lips, and is a fool. ²Also, that the soul be without knowledge, it is not good; and he that hasteth with his feet sinneth. ³The foolishness of man perverteth his way: and his heart fretteth against the LORD. ⁴Wealth maketh many friends; but the poor is separated from his neighbour. ⁵A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaketh lies shall not escape. ⁶Many will intreat the favour of the prince: and every man is a friend to him that giveth gifts. ⁷All the brethren of the poor do hate him: how much more do his friends go far from him? he pursueth them with words, yet they are wanting to him. ⁸He that getteth wisdom loveth his own soul: he that keepeth understanding shall find good. ⁹A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaketh lies shall perish. ¹⁰Delight is not seemly for a fool; much less for a servant to have rule over princes. ¹¹The discretion of a man deferreth his anger; and it is his glory to pass over a transgression. ¹²The kings wrath is as the roaring of a lion; but his favour is as dew upon the grass. ¹³A foolish son is the calamity of his father: and the contentions of a wife are a continual dropping. ¹⁴House and riches are the inheritance of fathers and a prudent wife is from the LORD. ¹⁵Slothfulness casteth into a deep sleep; and an idle soul shall suffer hunger. ¹⁶He that keepeth the commandment keepeth his own soul; but he that despiseth his ways shall die. ¹⁷He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the LORD; and that which he hath given will he pay him again. ¹⁸Chasten thy son while there is hope, and let not thy soul spare for his crying. ¹⁹A man of great wrath shall suffer punishment: for if thou deliver him, yet thou must do it again. ²⁰Hear counsel, and receive instruction, that thou mayest be wise in thy latter end. ²¹There are many devices in a mans heart; nevertheless the counsel of the LORD, that shall stand. ²²The desire of a man is his kindness: and a poor man is better than a liar. ²³The fear of the LORD tendeth to life: and he that hath it shall abide satisfied; he shall not be visited with evil. ²⁴A slothful man hideth his hand in his bosom, and will not so much as bring it to his mouth again. ²⁵Smite a scorner, and the simple will beware: and reprove one that hath understanding, and he will understand knowledge. ²⁶He that wasteth his father, and chaseth away his mother, is a son that causeth shame, and bringeth reproach. ²⁷Cease, my son, to hear the instruction that causeth to err from the words of knowledge. ²⁸An ungodly witness scorneth judgment: and the mouth of the wicked devoureth iniquity. ²⁹Judgments are prepared for scorners, and stripes for the back of fools.(KJV)

29 Proverbs of Solomon 19:1-29 ¹Better is the poor that walketh in his integrity

Than he that is perverse in his lips and is a fool.

²Also, that the soul be without knowledge is not good;

And he that hasteth with his feet sinneth.

³The foolishness of man subverteth his way;

And his heart fretteth against Jehovah.

⁴Wealth addeth many friends;

But the poor is separated from his friend.

⁵A false witness shall not be unpunished;

And he that uttereth lies shall not escape.

⁶Many will entreat the favor of the liberal man;

And every man is a friend to him that giveth gifts.

⁷All the brethren of the poor do hate him:

How much more do his friends go far from him!

He pursueth them with words, but they are gone.

⁸He that getteth wisdom loveth his own soul:

He that keepeth understanding shall find good.

⁹A false witness shall not be unpunished;

And he that uttereth lies shall perish.

¹⁰Delicate living is not seemly for a fool;

Much less for a servant to have rule over princes.

¹¹The discretion of a man maketh him slow to anger;

And it is his glory to pass over a transgression.

¹²The king's wrath is as the roaring of a lion;

But his favor is as dew upon the grass.

¹³A foolish son is the calamity of his father;

And the contentions of a wife are a continual dropping.

¹⁴House and riches are an inheritance from fathers;

But a prudent wife is from Jehovah.

¹⁵Slothfulness casteth into a deep sleep;

And the idle soul shall suffer hunger.

¹⁶He that keepeth the commandment keepeth his soul;

But he that is careless of his ways shall die.

¹⁷He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto Jehovah,

And his good deed will he pay him again.

¹⁸Chasten thy son, seeing there is hope;

and set not thy heart on his destruction.

¹⁹A man of great wrath shall bear the penalty;

For if thou deliver him, thou must do it yet again.

²⁰Hear counsel, and receive instruction,

That thou mayest be wise in thy latter end.

²¹There are many devices in a man's heart;

But the counsel of Jehovah, that shall stand.

²²That which maketh a man to be desired is his kindness;

And a poor man is better than a liar.

²³The fear of Jehovah tendeth to life;

And he that hath it shall abide satisfied;

He shall not be visited with evil.

²⁴The sluggard burieth his hand in the dish,

And will not so much as bring it to his mouth again.

²⁵Smite a scoffer, and the simple will learn prudence;

And reprove one that hath understanding, and he will understand knowledge.

²⁶He that doeth violence to his father, and chaseth away his mother,

Is a son that causeth shame and bringeth reproach.

²⁷Cease, my son, to hear instruction

Only to err from the words of knowledge.

²⁸A worthless witness mocketh at justice;

And the mouth of the wicked swalloweth iniquity.

²⁹Judgments are prepared for scoffers,(ASV)

29 Proverbs of Solomon 19:1-29 ¹BETTER is the poor man who walks in his integrity than the rich man who is perverse in his ways.

²¶ He who has no knowledge of his own soul, it is not good for him; and he who is hasty with his feet sins.

³¶ The folly of a man perverts his ways; he frets in his heart against the LORD.

⁴¶ Wealth makes many friends; but a poor man is deserted by his friends.

⁵¶ A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he who speaks lies shall not escape.

⁶¶ Many serve in the presence of a prince; he gives gifts even to those who are bad. ⁷All the brothers of the poor hate him; also his friends go far from him. He who makes mischief with his words is insincere.

⁸¶ He who gets wisdom loves his own soul; he who keeps faithfulness shall find good.

⁹¶ A false witness shall not be unpunished; and he who speaks lies shall perish.

¹⁰¶ To live in luxury is not fitting for a fool; much less is it seemly for a servant to rule over princes.

¹¹¶ The discretion of a man is shown by his patience; he glories when his iniquity is removed.

¹²¶ The king's wrath is like the roaring of a lion; but his favor is like dew upon grass.

¹³¶ A foolish son is a disgrace to his father; and the contentions of a wife are like drippings.

¹⁴¶ House and riches are the inheritance from fathers; but a wife is betrothed to a man from the LORD.

¹⁵¶ Slothfulness casts into a deep sleep; and a proud man shall suffer hunger.

²⁴¶ A sluggard hides his hands in his bosom and will not even try to bring them to his mouth again.

²⁵¶ When an evil man is scourged, a wise man takes heed; and when a wise man is reproved, he will gain understanding.

²⁶¶ He who plunders his father and grieves his mother is a son who causes shame and brings reproach.

²⁷¶ Wait, my son, and hear the instruction, and do not forget the words of knowledge.

²⁸¶ An ungodly witness scorns justice; and the mouth of the wicked devours him.

²⁹¶ Grief is prepared for those who scoff at justice, and a scourge for foolish people. (LAM)

29 Proverbs of Solomon 19:1-29 ¹Better is a poor man who walks in his integrity than a man who is perverse in speech, and is a fool. ²It is not good for a man to be without knowledge, and he who makes haste with his feet misses his way. ³When a man's folly brings his way to ruin, his heart rages against the LORD. ⁴Wealth brings many new friends, but a poor man is deserted by his friend. ⁵A false witness will not go unpunished, and he who utters lies will not escape. ⁶Many seek the favor of a generous man, and every one is a friend to a man who gives gifts. ⁷All a poor man's brothers hate him; how much more do his friends go far from him! He pursues them with words, but does not have them. ⁸He who gets wisdom loves himself; he who keeps understanding will prosper. ⁹A false witness will not go unpunished, and he who utters lies will perish. ¹⁰It is not fitting for a fool to live in luxury, much less for a slave to rule over princes. ¹¹Good sense makes a man slow to anger, and it is his glory to overlook an offense. ¹²A king's wrath is like the growling of a lion, but his favor is like dew upon the grass. ¹³A foolish son is ruin to his father, and a wife's quarreling is a continual dripping of rain. ¹⁴House and wealth are inherited from fathers, but a prudent wife is from the LORD. ¹⁵Slothfulness casts into a deep sleep, and an idle person will suffer hunger. ¹⁶He who keeps the commandment keeps his life; he who despises the word will die. ¹⁷He who is kind to the poor lends to the LORD, and he will repay him for his deed. ¹⁸Discipline your son while there is hope; do not set your heart on his destruction. ¹⁹A man of great wrath will pay the penalty; for if you deliver him, you will only have to do it again. ²⁰Listen to advice and accept instruction, that you may gain wisdom for the future. ²¹Many are the plans in the mind of a man, but it is the purpose of the LORD that will be established. ²²What is desired in a man is loyalty, and a poor man is better than a liar. ²³The fear of the LORD leads to life; and he who has it rests satisfied; he will not be visited by harm. ²⁴The sluggard buries his hand in the dish, and will not even bring it back to his mouth. ²⁵Strike a scoffer, and the simple will learn prudence; reprove a man of understanding, and he will gain knowledge. ²⁶He who does violence to his father and chases away his mother is a son who causes shame and brings reproach. ²⁷Cease, my son, to hear instruction only to stray from the words of knowledge. ²⁸A worthless witness mocks at justice, and the mouth of the wicked devours iniquity. ²⁹Condemnation is ready for scoffers, and flogging for the backs of fools. (RSV)

29 Proverbs of Solomon 19:1-29 ¹Better a poor man whose walk is blameless than a fool whose lips are perverse. ²It is not good to have zeal without knowledge, nor to be hasty and miss the way. ³A man's own folly ruins his life, yet his heart rages against the LORD. ⁴Wealth brings many friends, but a poor man's friend deserts him. ⁵A false witness will not go unpunished, and he who pours out lies will not go free. ⁶Many curry favor with a ruler, and everyone is the friend of a man who gives gifts. ⁷A 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. ⁸He who gets wisdom loves his own soul; he who cherishes understanding prospers. ⁹A false witness will not go unpunished, and he who pours out lies will perish. ¹⁰It is not fitting for a fool to live in luxury -- how much worse for a slave to rule over princes! ¹¹A man's wisdom gives him patience; it is to his glory to overlook an offense. ¹²A king's rage is like the roar of a lion, but his favor is like dew on the grass. ¹³A foolish son is his father's ruin, and a quarrelsome wife is like a constant dripping. ¹⁴Houses and wealth are inherited from parents, but a prudent wife is from the LORD. ¹⁵Laziness brings on deep sleep, and the shiftless man goes hungry. ¹⁶He who obeys instructions guards his life, but he who is contemptuous of his ways will die. ¹⁷He who is kind to the poor lends to the LORD, and he will reward him for what he has done. ¹⁸Discipline your son, for in that there is hope; do not be a willing party to his death. ¹⁹A hot-tempered man must pay the penalty; if you rescue him, you will have to do it again. ²⁰Listen to advice and accept instruction, and in the end you will be wise. ²¹Many are the plans in a man's heart, but it is the LORD's purpose that prevails. ²²What a man desires is unfailing love; better to be poor than a liar. ²³The fear of the LORD leads to life: Then one rests content, untouched by trouble. ²⁴The sluggard buries his hand in the dish; he will not even bring it back to his mouth! ²⁵Flog a mocker, and the simple will learn prudence; rebuke a discerning man, and he will gain knowledge. ²⁶He who robs his father and drives out his mother is a son who brings shame and disgrace. ²⁷Stop listening to instruction, my son, and you will stray from the words of knowledge. ²⁸A corrupt witness mocks at justice, and the mouth of the wicked gulps down evil. ²⁹Penalties are prepared for mockers, and beatings for the backs of fools.(NIV)

He rests and will not be touched by trouble.

He will not so much as bring it to his mouth again.

Rebuke one who has understanding, and he will gain knowledge.

You will stray from the words of knowledge.

And the mouth of the wicked gulps down iniquity.
