Proverbs 19
[1] Better is the poor that walketh in his integrity, than he that is perverse
in his lips, and is a fool. [2] Also, that the soul be without knowledge, it
is not good; and he that hasteth with his feet sinneth.
[3] The foolishness of man perverteth his way: and his heart fretteth against
the LORD.
[4] Wealth maketh many friends; but the poor is separated from his neighbour.
[5] A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaketh lies shall
not escape.
[6] Many will intreat the favour of the prince: and every man is a friend to
him that giveth gifts.
[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] He
that getteth wisdom loveth his own soul: he that keepeth understanding shall
find good.
[9] A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaketh lies shall
perish.
[10] Delight is not seemly for a fool; much less for a servant to have rule
over princes.
[11] The discretion of a man deferreth his anger; and it is his glory to pass
over a transgression.
[12] The king's wrath is as the roaring of a lion; but his favour is as dew
upon the grass.
[13] A foolish son is the calamity of his father: and the contentions of a
wife are a continual dropping.
[14] House and riches are the inheritance of fathers and a prudent wife is
from the LORD.
[15] Slothfulness casteth into a deep sleep; and an idle soul shall suffer
hunger.
[16] He that keepeth the commandment keepeth his own soul; but he that
despiseth his ways shall die.
[17] He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the LORD; and that which he
hath given will he pay him again. [18] Chasten thy son while there is hope,
and let not thy soul spare for his crying.
[19] A man of great wrath shall suffer punishment: for if thou deliver him,
yet thou must do it again.
[20] Hear counsel, and receive instruction, that thou mayest be wise in thy
latter end.
[21] There are many devices in a man's heart; nevertheless the counsel of the
LORD, that shall stand.
[22] The desire of a man is his kindness: and a poor man is better than a liar.
[23] The fear of the LORD tendeth to life: and he that hath it shall abide
satisfied; he shall not be visited with evil. [24] A slothful man hideth his
hand in his bosom, and will not so much as bring it to his mouth again.
[25] Smite a scorner, and the simple will beware: and reprove one that hath
understanding, and he will understand knowledge. [26] He that wasteth his
father, and chaseth away his mother, is a son that causeth shame, and bringeth
reproach. [27] Cease, my son, to hear the instruction that causeth to err from
the words of knowledge.
[28] An ungodly witness scorneth judgment: and the mouth of the wicked
devoureth iniquity.
[29] Judgments are prepared for scorners, and stripes for the back of fools.
Proverbs 20
[1] Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging: and whosoever is deceived
thereby is not wise.
[2] The fear of a king is as the roaring of a lion: whoso provoketh him to
anger sinneth against his own soul. [3] It is an honour for a man to cease
from strife: but every fool will be meddling.
[4] The sluggard will not plow by reason of the cold; therefore shall he beg
in harvest, and have nothing.
[5] Counsel in the heart of man is like deep water; but a man of understanding
will draw it out.
[6] Most men will proclaim every one his own goodness: but a faithful man who
can find?
[7] The just man walketh in his integrity: his children are blessed after him.
[8] A king that sitteth in the throne of judgment scattereth away all evil
with his eyes.
[9] Who can say, I have made my heart clean, I am pure from my sin? [10]
Divers weights, and divers measures, both of them are alike abomination to the
LORD.
[11] Even a child is known by his doings, whether his work be pure, and
whether it be right.
[12] The hearing ear, and the seeing eye, the LORD hath made even both of them.
[13] Love not sleep, lest thou come to poverty; open thine eyes, and thou
shalt be satisfied with bread.
[14] It is naught, it is naught, saith the buyer: but when he is gone his way,
then he boasteth.
[15] There is gold, and a multitude of rubies: but the lips of knowledge are a
precious jewel.
[16] Take his garment that is surety for a stranger: and take a pledge of him
for a strange woman.
[17] Bread of deceit is sweet to a man; but afterwards his mouth shall be
filled with gravel.
[18] Every purpose is established by counsel: and with good advice make war.
[19] He that goeth about as a talebearer revealeth secrets: therefore meddle
not with him that flattereth with his lips. [20] Whoso curseth his father or
his mother, his lamp shall be put out in obscure darkness.
[21] An inheritance may be gotten hastily at the beginning; but the end
thereof shall not be blessed.
[22] Say not thou, I will recompense evil; but wait on the LORD, and he shall
save thee.
[23] Divers weights are an abomination unto the LORD; and a false balance is
not good.
[24] Man's goings are of the LORD; how can a man then understand his own way?
[25] It is a snare to the man who devoureth that which is holy, and after vows
to make inquiry.
[26] A wise king scattereth the wicked, and bringeth the wheel over them. [27]
The spirit of man is the candle of the LORD, searching all the inward parts of
the belly.
[28] Mercy and truth preserve the king: and his throne is upholden by mercy.
[29] The glory of young men is their strength: and the beauty of old men is
the gray head.
[30] The blueness of a wound cleanseth away evil: so do stripes the inward
parts of the belly.
Proverbs 21
[1] The king's heart is in the hand of the LORD, as the rivers of water: he
turneth it whithersoever he will.
[2] Every way of a man is right in his own eyes: but the LORD pondereth the
hearts.
[3] To do justice and judgment is more acceptable to the LORD than sacrifice.
[4] An high look, and a proud heart, and the plowing of the wicked, is sin.
[5] The thoughts of the diligent tend only to plenteousness; but of every one
that is hasty only to want.
[6] The getting of treasures by a lying tongue is a vanity tossed to and fro
of them that seek death.
[7] The robbery of the wicked shall destroy them; because they refuse to do
judgment.
[8] The way of man is froward and strange: but as for the pure, his work is
right.
[9] It is better to dwell in a corner of the housetop, than with a brawling
woman in a wide house.
[10] The soul of the wicked desireth evil: his neighbour findeth no favour in
his eyes.
[11] When the scorner is punished, the simple is made wise: and when the wise
is instructed, he receiveth knowledge. [12] The righteous man wisely
considereth the house of the wicked: but God overthroweth the wicked for their
wickedness. [13] Whoso stoppeth his ears at the cry of the poor, he also shall
cry himself, but shall not be heard.
[14] A gift in secret pacifieth anger: and a reward in the bosom strong wrath.
[15] It is joy to the just to do judgment: but destruction shall be to the
workers of iniquity.
[16] The man that wandereth out of the way of understanding shall remain in
the congregation of the dead.
[17] He that loveth pleasure shall be a poor man: he that loveth wine and oil
shall not be rich.
[18] The wicked shall be a ransom for the righteous, and the transgressor for
the upright.
[19] It is better to dwell in the wilderness, than with a contentious and an
angry woman.
[20] There is treasure to be desired and oil in the dwelling of the wise; but
a foolish man spendeth it up.
[21] He that followeth after righteousness and mercy findeth life,
righteousness, and honour.
[22] A wise man scaleth the city of the mighty, and casteth down the strength
of the confidence thereof. [23] Whoso keepeth his mouth and his tongue keepeth
his soul from troubles. [24] Proud and haughty scorner is his name, who
dealeth in proud wrath. [25] The desire of the slothful killeth him; for his
hands refuse to labour. [26] He coveteth greedily all the day long: but the
righteous giveth and spareth not.
[27] The sacrifice of the wicked is abomination: how much more, when he
bringeth it with a wicked mind?
[28] A false witness shall perish: but the man that heareth speaketh
constantly.
[29] A wicked man hardeneth his face: but as for the upright, he directeth his
way.
[30] There is no wisdom nor understanding nor counsel against the LORD. [31]
The horse is prepared against the day of battle: but safety is of the LORD.
