Prouerbs 19

¹Better is the poore that walketh in his integrity, then he that is peruerse in his lippes, and is a foole.

²Also, that the soule be without knowledge, it is not good, and hee that hasteth with his feete, sinneth.

³The foolishnesse of man peruerteth his way: and his heart fretteth against the Lord.

⁴Wealth maketh many friends: but the poore is separated from his neighbour.

⁵A false witnesse shall not be vnpunished: and he that speaketh lyes, shal not escape.

⁶Many will entreate the fauour of the Prince: and euery man is a friend to him that giueth gifts.

⁷All the brethren of the poore doe hate him: howe much more doe his friends goe farre from him? Hee pursueth them with words, yet they are wanting to him.

⁸He that getteth wisedome loueth his owne soule: he that keepeth vnderstanding shall find good.

⁹A false witnesse shall not be vnpunished, and hee that speaketh lyes, shall perish.

¹⁰Delight is not seemely for a foole: much lesse for a seruant to haue rule ouer princes.

¹¹The discretion of a man deferreth his anger: and it is his glory to passe ouer a transgression.

¹²The kings wrath is as the roaring of a lyon: but his fauour is as dewe vpon the grasse.

¹³A foolish sonne is the calamity of his father; and the contentions of a wife are a continuall dropping.

¹⁴House and riches, are the inheritance of fathers; and a prudent wife is from the Lord.

¹⁵Slouthfulnesse casteth into a deep sleepe: and an idle soule shall suffer hunger.

¹⁶He that keepeth the commandement, keepeth his owne soule: but hee that despiseth his wayes, shall die.

¹⁷Hee that hath pity vpon the poore, lendeth vnto the Lord; and that which he hath giuen, will he pay him againe.

¹⁸Chasten thy sonne while there is hope; and let not thy soule spare for his crying.

¹⁹A man of great wrath shall suffer punishment: for if thou deliuer him, yet thou must doe it againe.

²⁰Heare counsell, and receiue instruction, that thou mayest be wise in thy latter end.

²¹There are many deuices in a mans heart: neuerthelesse the counsell of the Lord, that shall stand.

²²The desire of a man is his kindnesse: and a poore man is better then a lyar.

²³The feare of the Lord tendeth to life, and he that hath it shall abide satisfied: he shall not be visited with euill.

²⁴A slouthfull man hideth his hand in his bosome, and wil not so much as bring it to his mouth againe.

²⁵Smite a scorner, and the simple will beware; and reprooue one that hath vnderstanding, and he will vnderstand knowledge.

²⁶He that wasteth his father, and chaseth away his mother, is a sonne that causeth shame, and bringeth reproch.

²⁷Cease, my sonne, to heare the instruction, that causeth to erre from the words of knowledge.

²⁸An vngodly witnesse scorneth iudgement: and the mouth of the wicked deuoureth iniquitie.

²⁹Iudgements are prepared for scorners, and stripes for the backe of fooles.
