Proverbs 19:2-16

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.
