Proverbs 19:1-11

1. 1 Better is the poor that walketh in his integrity, than he that is perverse in his lips, and is a fool.

2. 2 Also, that the soul be without knowledge, it is not good; and he that hasteth with his feet sinneth.

3. 3 The foolishness of man perverteth his way: and his heart fretteth against the LORD.

4. 4 Wealth maketh many friends; but the poor is separated from his neighbour.

5. 5 A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaketh lies shall not escape.

6. 6 Many will intreat the favour of the prince: and every man is a friend to him that giveth gifts.

7. 7 All 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.

8. 8 He that getteth wisdom loveth his own soul: he that keepeth understanding shall find good.

9. 9 A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaketh lies shall perish.

10. 10 Delight is not seemly for a fool; much less for a servant to have rule over princes.

11. 11 The discretion of a man deferreth his anger; and it is his glory to pass over a transgression.
