Proverbs 19:1-17

19Better the poor walking in integrity
than one perverse of speech who is a fool.
²Desire without knowledge is not good,
and one who moves too hurriedly misses the way.
³One’s own folly leads to ruin,
yet the heart rages against the Lord.
⁴Wealth brings many friends,
but the poor are left friendless.
⁵A false witness will not go unpunished,
and a liar will not escape.
⁶Many seek the favor of the generous,
and everyone is a friend to a giver of gifts.
⁷If the poor are hated even by their kin,
how much more are they shunned by their friends!
When they call after them, they are not there. ⁸To get wisdom is to love oneself;
to keep understanding is to prosper.
⁹A false witness will not go unpunished,
and the liar will perish.
¹⁰It is not fitting for a fool to live in luxury,
much less for a slave to rule over princes.
¹¹Those with good sense are slow to anger,
and it is their glory to overlook an offense.
¹²A king’s anger is like the growling of a lion,
but his favor is like dew on the grass.
¹³A stupid child is ruin to a father,
and a wife’s quarreling is a continual dripping of rain.
¹⁴House and wealth are inherited from parents,
but a prudent wife is from the Lord.
¹⁵Laziness brings on deep sleep;
an idle person will suffer hunger.
¹⁶Those who keep the commandment will live;
those who are heedless of their ways will die.
¹⁷Whoever is kind to the poor lends to the Lord,
and will be repaid in full.
