Proverbs 19

Proverbs of personal character

Three more better things

BIBLE TEXT BEGINS:

1 Better is the poor who walks in his integrity Than one who is perverse in his lips, and is a fool.

2 Also it is not good for a soul to be without knowledge, And he sins who hastens with his feet.

3 The foolishness of a man twists his way, And his heart frets against the LORD.

4 Wealth makes many friends, But the poor is separated from his friend.

Punishment of liars

5 A false witness will not go unpunished, And he who speaks lies will not escape.

True human nature

6 Many entreat the favor of the nobility, And every man is a friend to one who gives gifts.

7 All the brothers of the poor hate him; How much more do his friends go far from him! He may pursue them with words, yet they abandon him.

Knowledge and wisdom

Two blessings of man

Laziness

15 Laziness casts one into a deep sleep, And an idle person will suffer hunger.

How to lend to God

17 He who has pity on the poor lends to the LORD, And He will pay back what he has given.

An ancient practice

A fool’s program

__________________________________

19 A man of great wrath will suffer punishment; For if you rescue him, you will have to do it again.

Three common classes

A worthless son
