Proverbs 19:11-24

¹¹The teaching of a man is known by patience; and his glory is to pass over wicked things.

¹²As the gnashing of a lion, so and the ire of the king; and as dew on herb, so and the gladness of the king.

¹³The sorrow of the father is a fond or foolish son; and roofs dropping continually is a woman full of chiding.

¹⁴Houses and riches be given of father and mother; but a prudent wife is given properly of the Lord.

¹⁵Sloth bringeth in sleep; and a negligent soul shall have hunger.

¹⁶He that keepeth the commandment of God, keepeth his soul; but he that chargeth not or despiseth his way, shall be slain.

¹⁷He that hath mercy on a poor man, lendeth to the Lord; and he shall yield his while to him.

¹⁸Teach thy son, and despair thou not; but set or put thou not thy soul to the slaying of him.

¹⁹Forsooth he that is unpatient, shall suffer harm; and when he hath ravished, he shall lay to another thing.

²⁰Hear thou counsel, and take thou doctrine; that thou be wise in thy last things.

²¹Many thoughts there be in the heart of a man; but the will of the Lord shall dwell.

²²A needy man is merciful; and better is a poor just or rightwise man, than a man liar.

²³Dread of the Lord leadeth to life; and he that dreadeth God shall dwell in plenty, without visiting of the worst or without full evil visiting.

²⁴A slow man hideth his hand under his armpit, and putteth it not to his mouth.
